Eyelets, Tools and Storage 2 quiet Eyelet setters for you to choose from. The Spring-let, by Eyelets, Etc. and Provo Crafts, Silent Setter.
NO MORE HAMMERS!! This is the best eyelet tool around. No need for hole punches, eyelet setters or hammers, especially, no more noise!! This tool does it all with 6 magnetic tips: 1/8" hole punch and setter, 1/16" hole punch and setter, and a 3/16" hole punch and setter. The universal tips are held in place while the spring-loaded, hammer-free, Spring-let, works to the punch a hole anywhere on your paper and then sets your eyelet. Eyelet setting has never been easier. Works best with aluminum eyelets. The perfect tool for eyelet crafters!!
This is how your Spring-Let will be packaged
These Aluminum Washers are a must for any eyelet that you set. It creates a nice, smooth, finished edge to the back side of your paper. Use these, and you'll never have to worry about covering up your eyelet back again.
Here is another great noiseless eyelet setting tool, by Provo Craft. The Silent Setter. No more pounding and noise making. Just push and twist with the punch tip to create a hole, then switch magnetized tips to appropriate size setting tip and give one push to secure eyelet on project. Nine piece set includes Silent Setter, 3 sizes of punch tips, 3 sizes of setting tips, mini craft mat, carrying case and 50 free eyelets. The Silent Setter quickly and quietly sets eyelets without any hammering, noise, or misshapen metal. The ergonomic setting tool is designed to fit comfortably in your hand. All that is required is a medium firm push down to securely attach the eyelet. The Silent Setter also punches an exact eyelet-sized hole in paper, cloth, and other thin craft materials, preparing them for eyelets. The Silent Setter comes with 3 sizes of setting tips (micro, standard, and large) and 3 sizes of hole punch tips (micro, standard, and large). Works great with any eyelets!

Spring-Let with Magnetic Tips HOW TO SET 1/8" EYELETS USING SPRING-LET ANYWHERE HOLE PUNCH - SETTER SETS: 1. Put the 1/8" hole punch tip in the tool and position it where you would like your eyelet. Hold the tool firmly by the griping sleeve, pull up on the ball and let go. 2. Place the eyelet face down. Place the material, with the hole punched in it, face down over the eyelet. Then place a washer, smooth side up, over the eyelet. 3. Put the 1/8" setter tip on the tool. Place it on top of the washer, centered on the back of the eyelet. Hold the tool firmly by the griping sleeve, pull up on the ball and let it go. This step may need to be repeated. How far to stretch the spring is something that is learned by experimenting. A lesser put will enable you project to be kinetic, a greater pull will lock the eyelet permanently. Do not pull up more than one inch. It is not how high you pull, rather how quick you let go that sets the eyelet. |
