    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.

    Cutting Punch

    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.

    Fabric Grommet Kits

    Kits include grommets of a single size and all the tools you need to install them. The grommets add a protective metal ring to a hole so rope and cable don’t tear your tarp, cover, or curtain. Strike the cutting punch with a mallet to create a hole, then set the grommet using the installation punch and die set.
