Hi, Ladies. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen or used these new tools for eyelet setting. I saw them at Walmart the other day and just had to give it a try and they work wonderful! So much easier than the normal hole punch and setter. But this tool comes in 3 sizes for 3 different size holes. The tool actually looks like a funky pen. It has the hole punch on one end and the setter on the other end for that particular size eyelet. In the middle is a spring with some kind of metal thing inside it. But you put the hole punch where you would want the hole, hold it straight up, one hand on one end and then you pull the other end up and let go (kind of like you do with a pinball machine) and it makes the hole and doing the other end the same way, sets it! It is so cool!
