portable hand grommeter

[nashvillesigns]

.....died in my meaty hand today. on a job site where i had to grommett to fit. POS blue one didn't even last five years.
SO aggravating.

Issue 1.
the effing thing can't even HOLD both part on the machine when you turn it vertical. REALLY? what is the point of that????
Issue 2.
the bolt kept snapping on the lever handle. so cheap. this time i sheared it so hard it broke the inner handle! Yay! i lift things up and i put them down!

Does anybody know where to get a hand held working grommetter that does its job correctly?

**** this day.

Cheap Asian knock offs? Is there one?

Grimco has a punch and die set that use have to use a hammer with. Does not get much more hand held than that.

We use a Hiker Lever press and the Press-N-Snap for the portable tool. Both work great and have lasted us a long time.
