We R Memory Keepershole punch &eyelet setter, Blue

Very sturdy. Lovely quality. Delighted with purchase.

Much easier to make holes in grey board than a screw punch. Very easy and pain free to operate. Only used as a hole punch to date but pleased so far. The only thing I see as a problem is the gauge which determines how far the hole is situated is very flimsy but so far I like them. I have board eyelets but not used them yet.

Arrived today. Took a little while to work out how it worked as there are several combinations depending on what eyelet is being used which is why I gave it 4 stars for "Easy to Use". However, it's worth reading and, possibly, re-reading the leaflet and maybe finding an on-line tutorial for the right combination for your particular eyelet. It is very sturdy, taking very little effort to squeeze closed.Unfortunately it didn't work well with the eyelets I had as these didn't have the tiny splits on the rear of the eyelet in order for it to squeeze completely flat. I took a pair of small metal cutter pliers to them making small splits. Worked perfectly and didn't need the back washers at all.

I had wanted one of these for a while and finally invested in one because I knew I would be doing a lot of eyelet setting. It is a very sturdy piece of equipment and because of that it is quite heavy, so if you have any problems with gripping or holding you might want to look for something lighter. Having said that it does what it's supposed to do very well, and I like that the hole punch and eyelet setter are incorporated in the same tool. The rubber handles are removeable and might slip about in frequent use but have not done so yet. The instructions are a bit sparse and repay careful reading - I advise practicing with the tool first before you use it on your project. I had used various eyelet setters in the past so I knew in principle what it was supposed to do and I think that helped. It is worth making sure that the eyelet setter cubes are sitting firmly and correctly in the tool before using, as they are made of plastic and might get damaged if the tool is used while they're slightly out of place.All in all a good solid piece of kit and worth the money if you're going to be setting eyelets a lot. Don't pay full price for it though - wait until there's a discount, as I did.

I find these easy to use, despite having arthritis. Would recommend, very sturdy, as is usual with everything from WRMK

I was making my own wedding invites, and wanted to use gold eyelets to hold the layers together. Easy I thought, but I was wrong.I bought a cheaper, manual eyelet setter, that came with it's own eyelets and it made me want to cry! The eyelets left a really rough ugly edge, the manual hole punch didn't work etc. I was ready to give up hope, but I thought I'd splurge a little and try this as a last resort. I could always send it back if it was rubbish..This beauty arrived, and must have been sent by the Gods as it did exactly what I needed effortlessly, and cleanly. An awesome tool which I'm now using for my stationery business. Do not mess around with cheap manual units, if you want a good result, then go for the Crop-A-Dile!

The leaflet tells you how to use it.

I fancied one of these for ages and love it. I watched a couple of YouTube videos which were brilliant and helped me to get the hang of it. Eg that there is a tiny knob/button to shut it up which is great for storage. Used it a few times with sucess. It does 2 different size holes. Very happy l bought it even though quite expensive.
