This grommet and washer die set is meticulously crafted for both durability and setting accuracy. Precisely engineered for #3 (7/16-inch) self-piercing grommets, this robust tooling is an essential addition for projects requiring rapid, secure fastening on a large scale. Each component is made from premium, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring an extended operational lifespan and consistent results. The set features two perfectly matched pieces, the upper and lower dies, designed for seamless, precise interaction.

Boost your production speed with this single-step grommet application tool. Its precision engineering enables the user to cut the material simultaneously and set the grommet in one swift, efficient action, completely eliminating the need for any initial hole-punching. A standout design element is the integrated gripping mechanism, which uses a slight spring tension to firmly hold the grommet eyelet during the entire placement process. This intelligent design prevents shifting, ensures flawless alignment, and consistently delivers a clean, professional-grade finish, making these the perfect grommet press dies for awning material, banner production, and tarps.

These high-performance 7/16-inch grommet dies are fully compatible with the HandyPress, making them vital across sectors such as sign making, outdoor canvas work, tent manufacturing, and general textile fabrication. Implementing this tooling allows fabricators to meet demanding production schedules quickly while maintaining the absolute highest standard for the strength and aesthetics of the final eyelet application.

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 self-piercing #3 grommets. This die set requires both upper and lower adapters for the HandyPress®, 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.
