tservice 3 Posted March 13, 2008 One of our customers want grommets in the coroplast. What is the best method of putting the holes in the coroplast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Terry Posted March 13, 2008 A grommet tool does it, and it cost BUCKS, but you can use a hollow punch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tservice 3 Posted March 13, 2008 I have a grommet tool but it only installs the grommets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted March 13, 2008 I have a grommet machine that uses self-piercing grommets. It goes through coroplast just fine. Bought it on ebay for $60 with shipping and came with grommets. I love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tservice 3 Posted March 13, 2008 We bought the same one you have Banner, but I don't think yours is self piercing. How can we tell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love it. You got a GREAT deal, the self punch one depending what size starts at about 100.00 for just the tool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They also offer it at auction. I bout 2...one for me,one for my brother. It weighs 12 pounds,very heavy,very well built and believe me I've used it. I expect it is so cheap because both of the ones I bouight had a TINY amount of rust on the dies. I believe it had been wet.Probably a flood or something. The rust was soon gone and it never affected the performance.From the look of it,design wise,it is exactly the same as the more expensive ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
