About this product
Kit Tent Repair Kit – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.
Tarpaulins, awnings and shade sails almost never fail in the middle. They fail at the eyelets, where all the tension is concentrated, and once one lets go the sheet starts tearing along the hem. A grommet kit turns that from a thrown-away tarp into a ten minute repair.
The kit holds 100 sets of 10 mm inner diameter eyelets, each a two-part eyelet and washer, along with the punch and dies needed to cut a clean hole and roll the eyelet closed. Everything sits in a compartment case so the small parts stay together.
Key Features
- 100 eyelet sets, 10 mm inner diameter
- Nickel-copper plated metal, electroplated finish
- Hole punch, setting die and driver included
- Compartment storage case
- Works on tarpaulin, canvas, tent fabric, leather, webbing and heavy cloth
How To Set One
- Lay the fabric over a hard surface such as a block of wood, not a tiled floor.
- Punch the hole with the tool supplied. Reinforce thin or torn fabric with a patch first, or the new eyelet will pull out too.
- Push the eyelet through from the front, drop the washer on the back, set it on the die and strike the driver squarely two or three times.
- Check the rolled edge is even all round before you move on.
Who It Suits
Anyone who owns tarpaulins, canopies, shade netting or awnings, and every workshop, garage and boatyard. It is also the right kit for curtains, bags, banners and leather work.
What Is Included
- 100 x 10 mm eyelet and washer sets
