METALgrommets.com developed its self-piercing grommets for one-step application and to eliminate the need for separate hole punching. The line of grommets includes products for use with textile, tents, awnings, banners, garments, drapery, furniture, boat covers, and more. The company says its grommets feature heavier gauge construction and a sharper edge than traditional sheet-metal grommets and reports that the grommets create a superior finish and produce fewer rejects. Available grommet stock includes size #XX00 (0.125 in./3.175 mm) to size 12 (1.5 in./38 mm) in brass, antique brass, nickel, and black oxide.
