Eyelet Setting Die for 13 mm / 0.51 in Inner Diameter Eyelets KLP0028

Practical Hand Tool for Size 28 Aluminum Eyelets

This Size 28 eyelet hand punch and setting tool is designed for the manual installation of compatible aluminum eyelets with a 12.5 mm (0.49 in) inner diameter. It can be used on tarps, tents, awnings, fabric covers and similar textile surfaces.

One end of the tool helps prepare the eyelet hole, while the other end helps shape and secure the installed eyelet with controlled hammer strikes. Its compact construction makes it useful for home repairs, fieldwork and locations where a hand press or fixed installation machine cannot be used.

How Do the Two Ends Work?

The tool is turned according to the required operation:

• Conical punching end: Helps prepare the opening through which the eyelet barrel will pass.
• Raised setting end: Helps flare and shape the eyelet barrel during hammer installation.

This two-function design allows small repairs and low-volume applications to be completed without carrying separate punching and setting tools.

When Should This Tool Be Selected?

• When installing Size 28 aluminum eyelets with a 12.5 mm (0.49 in) inner diameter
• When a hand press or fixed machine is not available
• For on-site tarp, tent or awning repairs
• For areas where a press machine cannot be positioned
• For low-volume eyelet installation
• When a compact and portable manual tool is required

Compatible Eyelet Measurements

How to Use the Tool

1. Mark the position where the eyelet will be installed.
2. Place the material on a flat, solid and impact-resistant work surface.
3. Position the conical punching end vertically on the marked point.
4. Use controlled hammer strikes to prepare the required opening.
5. Insert the aluminum eyelet through the prepared hole.
6. If the eyelet is used with a washer, position the washer correctly over the barrel.
7. Turn the tool to its setting position and place the raised end over the eyelet.
8. Hold the tool vertically and apply light, even hammer strikes.
9. Check that the eyelet and washer are evenly seated against the material.

How Is It Different from a Press-Mounted Die?

This product is not a threaded upper and lower die set designed for installation in a manual, impact, electric or pneumatic press. It is a portable hand-held tool that is struck directly with a hammer.

The hand tool is practical for repairs, samples, emergency work and low-volume applications. For continuous or high-volume production, a compatible press and dedicated eyelet die may provide more consistent and repeatable installation results.

Typical Applications

• Tarp edging and tarp repairs
• Tent attachment and fastening points

• Samples and low-volume production

Checks Before Installation

• Confirm that the eyelet is Size 28 with a 12.5 mm (0.49 in) inner diameter.
• Verify that the eyelet is made of aluminum.
• Make sure the eyelet and washer are designed to work together.
• Check the thickness and number of material layers.
