How to Install Grommets - Choosing and Using Tools with Carmen Ciricillo

You know what a grommet is, right?
It’s the circular metal fitting on tarps and other things which you can run rope
through to tie something down. The metal then gives it strength so the tarp won’t tear
when it’s blown by the wind.
General Tools offers solid brass grommet kits, which are available in five sizes,
snap fastener kits and screw fastener kits.
These various kits are used to repair canvas, tarpaulins, tents, awnings, sailcloth,
lawn furniture and pool covers.
Each set has handy step by step instructions.
