The
QUIET eyelet setter!
Home Pro LR (long-reach!) desktop eyelet punch and setter
I admit
it, I am a tool junkie. I am always searching for well-made tools that save
time and make art projects easier and more fun.
At the Hobby Industry Association trade show, one innovative tool that
really captured my attention was an easy-to-use and quiet desktop eyelet setter
called the Home Pro LR. I
never quite got the hang of hammering eyelets, so this desktop setter really
appealed to me.
Because tools can take up a lot of valuable space, I like it when they can
accomplish more than just one task. The HomePro LR excels in this
versatility! With additional attachments (many priced below $10), this
tool, also called a setting press, can set four different sizes of eyelets, punch four different size holes,
set rivets, set many sizes of nailheads, attach metal corners, set two-part
snaps, and set several sizes of rimset rhinestones! (Unfortunately, it
does not cook or wash dishes.)
HomePro LR Desktop
The HomePro LR desktop tool has a 6-inch
throat, which allows you to set eyelets in the center of a 12x12 scrapbook
page. The Home Pro LR comes with 3/16" eyelet and punch
setting tools, and many other attachments are available separately or in kits
(see below).
The Home Pro LR is the only eyelet setter with the five features that are most
important to me:
* It is perfectly quiet
* It is very easy to use
* It has a long reach
* It "curls" eyelet backs, instead of splitting them, so eyelets
set with the Home Pro LR are as attractive on the back as
they are on the front
* AND it is versatile. The HomePro LR is the only eyelet setting tool that has
attachments for setting four eyelet sizes, nailheads, rivets, two-part snaps,
metal corners and rhinestones!
The base of an assembled HomePro LR
measures 8-1/2" x 2-1/2" and the height is approximately 9 inches.
(The color of this machine is purple now, instead of the blue shown in the
photo.)

zipper closure. The two outside pockets hold the eyelet tool kit and the
nailhead toolkit, and close with Velcro for easy access. The inside has a
snap-shut strap to hold the base of the Home Pro LR, and a strap with a toggle
holds the arm down to keep things compact. Two wide pockets inside (made of mesh
for easy visibility) allow you to carry bags of eyelets, nailheads, and other
accessories with your tools.

NEW! Grommet setting tools and two-part grommets!
Eyelets are great, but sometimes only a grommet will
do. For fabric, leather and other more flexible materials, we have new
grommet setting tools and two-part 1/4" grommets in two finishes: brass
and nickel.
Grommet setting tool attachments work in the Home Pro LR eyelet setter.
Two-part 1/4" grommets come in packages of 25, with 25 grommets and 25
washers in each package.
Pinwheels are a unique way to jazz up your eyelets without spending a lot of
money on fancy eyelets. You can attach pinwheels with 3/32" eyelets
or with tiny brads. We have these decorative "collars" for
eyelets in five designs. FUN!
Spinner embellishments
Think of all the neat ways you can use spinners:
for fortune telling games, pie charts with choices (loves me, loves me not),
to make a compass, to decorate a map. The list goes on and on. Our spinners
come in three styles: black plastic, red plastic, shiny silver steel, and
bright copper (that can be aged with a little heat!). They all have
holes in the center so you can quickly attach them with eyelets. The two metal
styles have bevels to help them spin.
