Best Grommet Kits of 2025

“I found these grommets to be sturdy and easy to install. After making sure to use a piece of cardboard underneath while punching holes, I was pleased with the results. Just a tip, though: don't forget the cardboard, or you might scratch your counter like I did!”

“I was pleasantly surprised by how straightforward the installation was. After reading the instructions and doing a couple of test runs, I felt ready to tackle the project. It's crucial to punch a clean hole; if done right, you won't need excessive pressure with the pliers.”

“While the grommet eyelet pliers worked well overall, I had to practice a bit to ensure everything aligned properly. I managed to finish 16 feet of canvas in about 20 minutes, but I ended up using a leather plier punch instead of the supplied one.”

"I found this leather punch to be the best investment during the Cyber Monday sale. I was working on a fursuit that required hundreds of grommets and rivets. It performed well most of the time, especially with the rivet holes, where it excelled. I was able to punch 520 holes in under an hour, all perfectly spaced. This tool is much better than using a handheld punch, which caused me some hand pain. This will replace my other punches for everything it can handle!"

"I purchased this tool to add tie down grommets to a tarp for my side yard. The space was uneven, making the original holes ineffective, but this tool worked perfectly, allowing me to install grommets wherever I needed. Now my tarp is securely attached, and I highly recommend it for its ease of use and solid design!"

"After losing weight, my leather belts were too big, so I bought this tool to punch new holes. It was much cheaper than buying new belts, and it worked well! The holes came out perfectly, and the kit included everything I needed. Definitely worth it!"

"I was truly impressed with the quality of this grommet tool. I've used it multiple times, and it installs grommets easily and neatly. For lighter materials, I can just punch the grommet right through, but for heavier ones, I need to use the included punch."

"This tool is precisely what I needed! It's very easy to use and gets the job done perfectly. The case is a great addition, keeping everything organized."

"I was initially unsure about the grommet size since the images show various items. I wanted tarp-sized grommets, and thankfully, they are indeed large enough for tarps, which is a relief. However, I still need to cut holes with the punch, which I wish the pliers could do."

"I recently got the HAPDEN Grommet Tool Kit, and it has quickly become essential for my DIY projects. The build quality is impressive, and the ergonomic design means I can use it comfortably for extended periods. The 3/8-inch grommet size is just right for my needs, and even as a beginner, I found it straightforward to use with clear instructions. The results are clean and professional-looking grommets, adding a polished finish to everything I create."

"As a professional handyman, I replaced my old grommet setup with this tool. In my first use, I needed to install grommets in a rubber traction runner. The magnetized tool inserts held everything in place, making it easy to cut and install multiple grommets. I found it very easy to grasp and squeeze, which made the job quick and efficient. This is a very good tool."

"I fixed a gazebo cover with this tool, and it worked like a charm. The price was much better than what I found at home improvement stores, and the quality is excellent. I received more grommets than I expected, which is a plus. Even when a grommet didn't fully punch, it still held just fine."

"I found this tool to be incredibly easy to use, and its durable design impressed me. I have an average grip, and it worked perfectly for me."

"While making curtains for my church's classrooms, I discovered this tool was a huge time-saver. It worked flawlessly and provided more snaps than I needed!"

"After struggling with a hammer-based grommet tool, I was thrilled to find this one. It's much easier to operate and came with several different sizes of grommets, which was a pleasant surprise!"

"I bought this kit to put grommets into 1" nylon webbing straps for camping. I needed 3/8" grommets, but the option for 1/2" grommets was great. After watching the video, it worked perfectly every time. The punch isn't very sharp, but with enough pounding, it punched through. The results look professional without any issues. Great product!"

"At first, I found using this product a bit tricky, but once I discovered the punches, I was able to repair my pool cover easily. Initially, I was just hammering the grommet together without realizing there were specific punches for the holes. Once I figured it out, it was smooth sailing!"

"This kit is a great value for anyone needing to install grommets. It comes with two hole punches, a hardwood backer block, and a 2-sided anvil. I've used it on my heavy-duty cover without any problems. The hole punches went through 16 mil tarp easily. It's a handy kit for general repairs!"

"I found this tool to be extremely simple to use. It made quick work of punching holes and installing the grommets all in one squeeze. Well worth the money!"

"When I got this tool, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I could just mark where the grommets needed to go and squeeze - it punches the hole and installs the grommet all at once! Highly recommend!"

"The tool is well made and very sturdy. However, I do wish I had opted for the version with the hole punch. I highly recommend this product!"

"I was a bit hesitant based on some reviews, but it worked great for me! I wish the packaging had been clearer about the smaller bag the grommets adhere to, but I managed. I used them for fabric signs; they do pucker a bit with thin material, but overall, I'm super happy with the result!"

"I found this product to be more than satisfactory. The heavy-duty grommets are impressive, and I was able to save two valuable leather wallets that had damaged grommets from using a riding chain. I’m so glad I discovered this kit!"

"I got this to add grommets to an outdoor furniture cover, but I struggled to punch holes through the material with the provided tools. I tried multiple layers, but didn’t succeed. Unfortunately, I will be returning this item."

"I bought this kit to add eyelets to hats for drawstrings. The hole punch requires firmly striking multiple times, which can be tricky. I wish the punch was a bit longer, but overall the project went smoothly and the results look professionally installed."

"This is a great starter kit! If I could request anything, it would be longer grommets for easier use through thicker materials. I would also love to see gunmetal gray and stainless steel options. Other than that, the tools are just what I needed."

"I used these grommets for my murphy bed straps. Each corner required two grommets, which I installed by whacking the punch hard. The grommets fit snugly with 1/4-20 screws. After several trips, I can say they have held up well without splitting!"

"I used this kit to install grommets on a college team window flag for my RZR whip. It was simple to use, and the grommets worked well for the flag. The price was great, too. However, since the flag material was thick and double-layered, I had to use scissors instead of the hole punch. Definitely watch the product video for guidance!"

"I found this punch and grommet set to be perfect as a starter kit. While I wish it included more grommets, it still does the job well. I had to hit the punch quite hard, but it worked. After getting the hole through the material, the grommet went on easily. This is a good choice for occasional use."

"I bought this to fix something with grommets, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to use. The quality is great, and I’ve had it for over a year now. I would definitely purchase it again!"
