Eyelet Setting Tool Set – Dies from No. 2 to No. 28 with Long-Handle Hand Setter KLP002-028SET

Eyelet Setting Die Set for 4.5–13 mm / 0.177–0.512 in Eyelets

This manual eyelet installation set combines six setting dies covering selected eyelet inner diameters between 4.5 mm / 0.177 in and 13 mm / 0.512 in. A long-handle hand-hit tool is included so the compatible dies can be used manually with a hammer.

The set is intended for sampling, repairs, craft projects and small-volume workshop applications. It provides several commonly used eyelet setting dies in one package without including eyelets, washers or a press machine.

Verified Package Contents

Total package contents: six complete eyelet setting dies and one long-handle hand-hit setting tool.

What Do the Measurements Represent?

The measurements shown in the table refer to the approximate inner diameter of compatible eyelets. They do not represent the outer cap diameter of the eyelet or the diameter of the hole that should be cut before installation.

Eyelets with similar inner diameters may have different barrel diameters, barrel heights, cap profiles, materials and washer constructions. A matching inner diameter alone does not guarantee complete die compatibility.

How Is the Set Used?

1. Measure the actual inner diameter of the eyelet.
2. Check the barrel, cap and washer construction.
3. Select the compatible upper and lower setting die.
4. Fit the die components to the long-handle hand-hit tool.
5. Position the eyelet and washer correctly on the prepared material.
6. Place the assembly on a hard, level and stable surface.
7. Apply controlled vertical hammer strikes.
8. Inspect the finished installation before continuing production.

Excessive or angled hammer strikes may crush the eyelet, fold its barrel unevenly, move the washer or damage the application material.

When Should This Set Be Selected?

• When several selected eyelet measurements are used,
• When a press machine is not available,
• For samples and prototype work,
• For repairs and alterations,
• For craft and small workshop applications,
• For installation points that cannot be reached with a press,
• When manual installation with a hammer is preferred.

Applications

• Bags and textile accessories
• Belts and leather goods
• Shoes and boots
• Curtains and home textiles
• Tarpaulins, awnings and banners
• Card labels and sample cards
• Craft and repair projects

The application area does not confirm compatibility by itself. The actual eyelet construction and setting die must be checked together.

Items Not Included

• Eyelets or grommets
• Metal or plastic washers
• Manual hand press or other press machine
• Hole-cutting or punching dies
• Hammer
• Worktable and additional hand tools

Die Connection Compatibility

The setting dies may be supplied with different connection standards for locally manufactured or international equipment. All dies in the package must use the same connection standard and must match the long-handle hand-hit tool.

M6, M8 and approximate UNC references describe the die connection only. They do not describe the eyelet measurement. Connections with different thread diameters or thread pitches must not be forced together.

Manual Work and Production Use

The long-handle hand-hit tool is most suitable for samples, repairs, craft projects and small-volume work. For repetitive production, a compatible manual hand press may provide more consistent pressure.

The connection standard of the dies must be checked before moving them from the hand-hit tool to a press machine.
