    Reinforcing Fabric Grommets

    These grommets handle thick materials and strain from fabric that’s frequently pulled or stretched. Strike a cutting punch with a mallet to create the hole, then set the grommet using either an installation punch or a press. Installation tools are sold separately.

    An extended neck gives these washers a stronger hold than our other fabric grommets.
    Brass—Add a bright finish to your fabric.
    Nickel-Plated Brass—The nickel gives these a more muted, silvery look than our plain brass grommets.

    Installation and Cutting Punches
    Hammer-Driven Installation Punch—The economical choice if you’re installing a few grommets at a time. Align the grommet base, fabric, and washer on the die (included). A few sharp taps on the punch cinch the grommet in the hole. Use a rubber or rawhide mallet rather than a metal hammer to preserve the head of the punch.
    Hammer-Driven Cutting Punch—Create a hole in your fabric with a few sharp mallet taps on the cutting punch. Use a rubber or rawhide mallet rather than a metal hammer to preserve the head of the punch.
