Economical Grommet Setter.

I caved in and bought this at Lacis the other day. It cost me $55 and came with a size 00 die - I got charged $10 for a size 0 die and have since realized I got rooked for that but, what the heck...

I've used it a lot in the past 3 days - I've got eight corsets in my pipeline - and I'm quite happy with it. The grommets don't come out quite as prettily as they might with a $160 table-mounted press, but they're set firmly and don't split which is better than my average of splitting one out of every eight when I hammer them in. I've also got an iffy back and lousy upper-body strength, so this purchase was also made for the sake of my aching muscles. :)

In general, Johanna-Bob gives it the thumbs up. It's moderately priced and I'm confident that it will tide me over until I decide to take the plunge and get something a little more heavy-duty.
