I have some eyelets, but I need some plain 3/16" or so with a eyelet setter. My punch is just ripping them apart.

Believe it or not, the dollar store.

Dollar stores in the craft section have copper or brass eyelets that solder well.

Cheers!

Keystone made the grommets and setting tools , use to get them from Newark electronics .

I saw a section of eyelets at walmart, but they all seemed extremely shallow, like for shirts. I'll check Dollar Tree.

Mouser has Keystone eyelets for $5.6 for 100, but no tools to set them.

Mouser has one of the first link tools in stock. Ima have to check to see which one I need.
I think I need the 1715, because the eyelets that I want at mouser is 1/8". All I want is the stake, $12 would be fine.

Thank you all.

JoAnns fabric store of course. Jou should even find a grommet setter there.

I got the setter and eyelets at mouser, and it works great. The eyelets are about $6 for 100.

If you want a punch, try the ones that they sell at the fabric stores. You will need to use a hammer to set them, but they should work. Try an arbour press if you want it to be more exact.

Whale oil bee ... Decades in this profession and I never even thought to check one of my wholesalers for the tings
