This professional-grade grommet application set is precisely manufactured for both longevity and unmatched setting consistency. Custom-designed specifically to work with #2 (3/8-inch) self-piercing grommets, this durable tooling is vital for large-scale production environments that require fast, reliable fastening. The #2 size is the most popular die set. Both the upper and lower components are constructed entirely from premium, corrosion-resistant steel, guaranteeing enduring service and sustained performance. This die set reliably resists wear even when processing demanding textiles, such as synthetic mesh, heavy cloth, or flexible sheet materials. The two-piece system features an integrated design for guaranteed alignment.

Revolutionize your assembly line with this truly single-operation grommet installation tool. Advanced engineering enables operators to pierce the substrate and fully secure the grommet in one quick, effortless motion, saving significant time. Pre-punching of holes is eliminated. A key functional element is the internal spring retention feature, which consistently secures the small grommet eyelet during the cycle. This action prevents shifting or rotation, ensuring perfect seating and always achieving a crisp, professional finish. These dies are the optimal solution for flags, smaller signs, and apparel finishing.

These top-performing 3/8-inch grommet dies are fully compatible with the HandyPress®, making them a necessary component for operations within the custom flag industry, athletic goods manufacturing, and small-to-medium signage creation. Implementing this tool empowers production teams to effortlessly manage peak volume demands without ever sacrificing the clean appearance or holding strength of the final installed grommets.

For most efficient usage order the optional HandyPress® Sliding Backstop for Use With Lower Dies and the HandyPress® Ruler. Using these devices will allow quick and consistent grommet spacing and indexing without pre-measuring.  

Please Note: This die set only works with #2 self-piercing grommets. This die set requires both upper and lower HandyPress® adapters, sold separately.

A note about grommets: There are many types. Most marine applications require heavier rolled rim spur grommets. These grip the fabric, so they don’t turn in the fabric hole. They are also much heavier in construction since the metal edges are rolled under. The self-piercing style that this die set works with are lighter weight grommets without rolled edges. They are ideal for utility-type projects like flags, banners, bags, tarps, and tents.
