I need a tool to set some 1-9/16" metal grommets. Where should I look?

Suggest you search Amazon for 'setting tool metal grommet'. The Dritz ones don't need special tools.

This kit comes with 1/4 & 5/16" grommets..., it does not contain the die to install 1/2" grommets.., it does work well though - so if you could find the 1/2" die to fit the vice grip pliers included in the kit - it would do the job nicely

I know next to nothing about tools, and I just bought regular sandpaper sheets and cut them to size (cut across the 8", not the 11"). They hook under the edges of the sander base - might be good to find on Youtube... Good luck.

Try a "bolt & screw" store that specializes in fasteners. They can measure the thread size, length, and the type of tool it takes, and they might be able to special order it.

Cut a hole in the fabric before you insert the grommet. I use a hole punch specifically designed for making holes for grommets.

Hi Victor, I borrowed a metric tap from a friend to cut the threads or go to Harbor Freight they have them for a cheap price.

You can go to any hardware store or lumberyard and match a long piece of dowel material in the diameter equal to that of the fruit picker which I think is 1&1/4 or 1&1/2 inches!

Sometimes Lowe's and Home Depot will do it at the customer service but that depends on the store. But also you can mail the tool to Channellock in Pennsylvania. I believe it's their own customer service place but entirely sure.

metric 7mm, look for the bargain set of allen wrench sockets they are usually as cheap as a single socket (under 10 dollars)

Klein HD2000-9NE "High-Leverage Side-Cutting Pliers - Heavy-Duty Cutting" is what I used. Worked great.

Sorry, I used this tool to create a dimple on metal before soldering so I'm not familiar with the job you want to do.

Go to sun-jel.com and they have them for $16.00. It is listed as "opener tool".

Two suggestions: make your own, if can not, look at harbor freight, northern tool or like type, see what is possible. You might want to look at the washer/dryer bases with the pull out drawer.

This tool comes with Line 24 snap dies and #1 grommet dies according to the package label. I would try to find the grommets at Home Depot, but if you need a different size you'll need to order those dies which are quite expensive. Maybe you can order the dies you need with the tool.
