Why did you pick this product vs others?:Awesome purchase

Great product. Great price. Recommended.

I make draw string backpacks and badge holders for Game Conventions. It took a little trial and error but once I figured it out it worked great.

Sturdy machine. I hope it don't break like the other review I saw. I can't find the dies for the 12mm, 14mm that will fit the machine. The seller did not sell them. The gromment I use are the standard 12mm for flags. Not the size dies and gromments that came with it.

I make busy blankets, sometime called fidget quilts. Think of a large placemat sized piece of fabric with items on it: a zipper to zip up and down, a button to un-button and button, a fabric pocket with a hook-and-loop closure which can be opened and keys on a ribbon removed; a strip of “fur” which can be petted/stroked to help bring memories of Fido or Fluffy, a string of large, colorful acrylic beads to "worry", and something to lace up - like how you would lace up your sneakers. I make these busy blankets for residents of our local memory care facility. I had been making ribbon loops - which takes too much time. Then I found a kit that I could install grommets by hammering them. Evidently, I'm not strong enough to have made that work. Then I saw an on-line video which recommended that I get one of these grommet hand presses if I'm going to be doing "production" work - which I am.Right now I'm using the 1/2" sized grommets. I take a little metal circle and place it over the space where I want a hole. I take a ball point pen and draw a line inside the circle. That's the size I want my hole to be. Sharp snips make the holes, I insert the larger piece with the "throat"- or whatever it's called - on the machine, slip the right side of the fabric face down over the "throat", put the little metal circle on top and bring the handle down. I don't even have to stand up and put some oomph into the effort. The fixing of one grommet is the work of less than a minute. And, when I'm putting 6-8 grommets into a single busy blanket, time adds up. As soon as I've used all of the ½” grommets I’ll start using the 3/8” grommets. The shoe laces I’m using will fit that size too.My ONLY complaint is that this company doesn’t sell refills of its grommets. Yet. I did ask the question about what other grommets could be used with this QWORK hand press and was advised that any would do. Well, I’ve tried using the ½” grommets from the original kit I bought and the press doesn’t make them work. I’m thinking it’s because the grommets might be stainless steel and of a stronger metal or it’s because of me. I’ll try again when I’m about to run out of the 3/8” grommets. The thing is, if I want to buy grommets in bulk then a tool is usually for sale, too - buy this tool and get a pile of grommets!. All I want are more grommets! I already have this tool and it makes my work so easy. It’s worth every dime. I don’t need another one.

the press itself seems to work fine.however the grommets that they sent with (and it was lovely they were 3 different sizes WITH the pieces needed to use them)but the grommets themselves are incredibly thin and flimsy. not happy with results at all.am re thinking if i even want to keep the press

DO NOT BUY THIS PRESS if you intend to use any grommets from any other manufactures - this press is CUSTOM BUILT TO ONLY ACCEPT PROVIDED GROMMETS !!! THIS PRESS WILL NOT work with 3rd party grommets !!! - I have 3/4" grommets here that will NOT FIT THIS PRESS !!! AND THIS PRESS IS DESIGNED FOR 3/4 GROMMETS !!! CHINA NEVER manufactures any STANDARDIZED PARTS to fit their machines - everything CHINA makes is completely OFF ALL STANDARD MEASUREMENTS - this is done to FORCE THE BUYER TO PURCHASE CUSTOM PARTS AT INFLATED PRICES - this Machine is USELESS on any other standard industry grommets - THIS MACHINE WILL >>> ONLY WORK <<< WITH THE GROMMETS PROVIDED IN THIS PURCHASE ! Good Luck Finding anything that will fit this machine - TOTAL CHINA SCAM - DO NOT BUY !!! RIP OFF !!!

I decided to make backsacks for a local craft event. I was struggling with manually punching holes for grommets. Then I found this. Now I want to make grommets in everything I make. It's easy to use and comes with plenty of grommets. It is heavy, but it's something you will have a long time.
