How to use the Snap Grommet Tool

In addition to repairs, the tool can easily be used for hole punching and inserting snap grommets. The hole punching process is similar to making a hole in a belt, after which a grommet is inserted to increase strength and prevent damage when the banner or tarpaulin is set up. The process can be broken down into four simple steps:

Step One: Punch the Hole
With Carmo’s snap grommet tool, it’s easy to “cut” the hole.
This is a punching action, after which the area is ready for the insertion of the snap grommet.

Punch the hole
Step Two: Insert the Correct Size Snap Grommet
Insert the correctly sized snap grommet. After compression,
this ensures that the hole can be used for tasks such as securing
the tarpaulin or banner without causing damage.
Insert the grommet
Step Three: Compress the Grommet
Once the grommet is inserted, it needs to be
compressed to ensure it stays securely in place. Carmo’s snap grommet tool
also serves asa 2-in-1 solution, as it can be used for both inserting
and compressing the grommet. In case ofdamage, the tool can also be used for repairs.
Clip the grommet

Step Four: Repeat the Process as Needed
You can now repeat the process as many times as necessary.
After completing these steps, you will have installed
snap grommets in your banner or tarpaulin, making it fully functional and ready for use.
