ClipsShop CSTON-1 #3 Black Oxide Starter Kit (With Press, #3 Die, & 500 #3 Black Oxide Grommets)

With the ClipsShop CSTON-1 grommet press, you can accomplish grommeting with a variety of grommet sizes from tiny #XX00 grommets, up to medium #5.5 grommets efficiently and with little effort. It features a stroking mechanism that activates when the handle is pulled slightly, eliminating the effort normally associated with grommeting. After the handle is pulled, the machine takes over and the spring-loaded stroking feature shoots the grommet into the material. This convenient feature means you don't have to use much strength or effort to set grommets, even through many materials that are typically more difficult to work with. This pressure is also adjustable, so you can set it to work properly with different materials, lending to a perfect finished grommet without over-setting and crunching the grommet, and without under-setting, leaving the grommet loose or not cutting the hole all the way through. Adjustment is simple, using the screw system near the top of the machine and requiring no special tools.

It is also simple to use...just install the proper ClipsShop die for your application, set the stroking pressure, add the corresponding ClipsShop grommets, and pull the handle. The die change over is also an easy process and won't require any special training. It features a very heavy base for proper stability, so it stays firm against your work space while grommeting, so you don't have to worry about it lifting. This means you can use the CSTON-1 free standing, but it can also be used bench-mounted. 

The ClipsShop CSTON-1 works with the most popular grommet sizes including 1/8" #XX00 grommets, 11/64" #X00 grommets, 3/16" #00 grommets, 1/4" #0 grommets, 5/16" #1 grommets, 3/8" #2 grommets, 7/16" #3 grommets, and 11/16" #5.5 grommets. All of these grommets are self-piercing, meaning they turn the typically two-step process of first punching a hole and then setting a grommet into a one-step process that accomplishes both actions simultaneously. If you are working with an extra-difficult material, you can still purchase a hole cutting die and setting die separately, however, the self-piercing die and grommets work with a large majority of materials.
