If you're repairing tent components, reinforcing banners, installing grommets in covers, or building custom fabric solutions, a proper die set helps produce a more consistent result than improvised methods.

A correctly set grommet helps reduce tearing, distributes load more evenly, and creates a cleaner finished look. For shops and crews that handle frequent repairs, this tool supports faster turnaround and more repeatable quality when adding or replacing grommets.

What This Tool Sets

• Grommet size: #6
• Inner diameter: 3/4" (6.35 mm)
• Compatible materials: Paper, laminate, fabrics, and many other materials

Why Use a Die Setting Tool?

Setting grommets properly matters - especially when the material will see tension, wind, or repeated handling. A die tool helps roll the rim consistently and seat the washer evenly, which can improve pull strength and help prevent premature tearing around the hole. It also speeds up production when you're setting multiple grommets in the same run.

How to Use the #6 Grommet Die Setting Tool

Follow these steps for best results when installing a #6 grommet:

1) Prepare the Hole

• Cut a hole in the material sized appropriately for the grommet.

2) Assemble the Grommet on the Tool

• Place the roll-rim half of the grommet onto the setting tool with the inner edge facing up.
• Slide the tooth washer onto the handle of the tool with the teeth facing down (away from the handle).

3) Position the Material

• Arrange your material so the roll-rim half protrudes through the hole from the correct side.
• Place the handle onto the base through the hole so everything seats squarely.

4) Set the Grommet

• Strike the handle of the tool with a dead blow hammer.
• Occasionally lift the handle and check the rim. Continue until the edge of the rim is flat against the inside of the tooth washer.

Tips for Cleaner Results

• Work on a solid surface: A stable workbench helps the die strike cleanly and reduces mis-sets.
• Keep everything square: Misalignment can deform the rim or leave sharp edges.
• Use controlled strikes: Multiple firm hits are often better than one overly aggressive strike.
• Check your hole size: Too small can bunch material; too large can reduce holding strength.
