Buying a #12 grommet kit is an easy way
to purchase all the components needed for your project in one
complete kit. There are two types of #12
curtain grommet hand setting kits available - the "Complete
Kit" or the "Starter Kit". Each kit is available in two
sizes - either 25 sets of #12 grommet/washers in a choice of
colors or 100 sets of #12 grommet/washers in a choice of
colors.
The "Starter Kit" includes the grommets, washers and two-piece stainless steel hand setting tool. In order to use a starter kit, you must have pre-pierced holes or some other method of cutting the holes in your curtain, drapes, tarp, or other material. The "Starter Kit" does not come with a
cutting tool.
The "Complete Kit" comes complete with the grommets, washers, two-piece hole cutting tool and two-piece
hand setting tool. Use one set of tools to cut your holes and
use the other set of tools to set your grommets. With either kit, you will also need is a heavy mallet. A
mallet, with its larger head, is much better than a hammer.
The goal is a hard blow evenly on the entire surface of the
tool. The small head of the hammer makes it very difficult
to achieve good results. If you have a mallet then you are
good to go. If you need a mallet, there are many
available at your local hardware store or we offer one here.
