I bought these eyelet pliers to replace a pair that had given good service for over 10 years. I was pleasantly surprised by how much easier these are to use. The depth gauge on the hole punch is very easy to set and avoids the off-centre hole I used to make. The eyelets that came with the pliers were too short for the job I had to do, so I got hold of some that are 7mm long. The pliers handled these without issue and the job was completed most satisfactorily.

The upper and lower parts of the clamp do not align exactly. It still works but each eyelet has to be squeezed two times. Not a big problem but I have 800 to do so it's been a bit of a pain. It does seem solidly made and maybe my one was just not well made.

It is more robust than the cheaper ones out there (the ones with a coloured sleeve on the handles). It does not bend when pressure is applied. However don't overload the thickness of material in which the eyelet passes through because the depth of the eyelet allows for only one thickness of material. Otherwise it works well.

Bought this for a specific job, eyelets for laces on a pair of ten hole boots. Job done in 15 minutes, quick and easy. Quality is good, effort needed is not too great. I am well pleased.

Well made item cuts the whole for you ready for the eyelet. Worked as described on the box can't fault it.
