You basically line up the metal eyelet over the prepunched hole, squeeze the handles, and it crimps the back flush — that's what it does in practice, and it works on leather, canvas, and most synthetics you'd use for a bag or a pair of sneakers, though it's not great for very thick materials like heavy-duty belt leather because the 5mm die just can't bite that deep.
The thing comes with two interchangeable dies, 3mm and 5mm, which are the sizes most buyers in the US and EU go with for shoelace eyelets and small bag grommets, and the box joint construction keeps alignment tight even after a few thousand cycles — we've seen these hold up for years in small workshops without the jaws wandering off center.
For import into the UK or the States, our company provide a standdard COA with the batch number, and the SDS sheet for the stainless steel components is usually included with each order over 3000 pieces — that's the MOQ, by the way, and we can do a plastic or a color box depending on your retail target, but teh color box adds about 20 days or so to the lead time.
It's about 325 grams and 19.5 by 10 by 3.5 centimeters, which is small enough to drop into a tool pouch for a craft fair, and the handle color options are purple or green — most wholesale buyers choose purple actually, because it stands out on a peg hook against all the black and red tools.
(Check lead time with us before you place a big order for a specific launch date, because if our raw material suplier is running behind from their side, we're usually about 3 to 5 days late getting the pliers stamped and assembled.)
The MOQ is 3000 pieces per order.
We offer fixed 3mm and 5mm hole sizes on this model, no other sizes for now.
Yes, you can mix handle colors in the same order; just let us know the split.
We can share a material certificate upon request, confirming it's stainless steel.
You can choose either a plastic box or a color box for each pair; we'll pack accordingly.
