Description
A simple, durable, high quality punch and die hand tool to fit our 40mm curtain eyelets. Engineered for precise compatibility with Hanolex eyelets and produced in house by our CNC turning department.
We recommend using together with our hole cutter and soft faced hammer (see products below).
Supplied with full instructions.
Watch the video below to see how this type of tool works.

Tool was well engineered, heavy and strongly built for purpose. Personally I would have struggled to have the strength to hammer the eyelets closed but my husband managed with a large mallet and about 10 heavy blows. I gave the tool 5 stars because the end result was absolutely perfect in every way, I couldn’t have been happier, but it does take physical effort and a strong arm.

Had a few problems with the plastic eyelets in our curtains which proved flimsy. The curtains were full length and quite heavy and the eyelts would pull apart when the curtains were drawn and undrawn. Internet to the rescue and we landed on this website with lots of information and a video demonstration of fitting metal eyelets. Decided to place an order for the hand fitting tool and metal eyelets. Very quick delivery saw the plastic eyelets removed and the new metal ones fitted in no time. No difficulty following the clear instructions and problem solved.

Had to practice a few times but once I’d got the hang of it, and with some firm whacks from the rawhide hammer, this worked perfectly and gives a really smart finish to the curtains I’m making.

Once we got the hang of using the eyelet tool it was really straightforward.
Curtains look great, very professional.

Perfect tool for the job. Excellent service even to the phone call ensuring I was purchasing the correct item. Delighted with the results, much better than the tool I purchased a couple of years ago. Have ordered the next size down for my daughter who couldn’t find one of the right size. Thanks Hanolex for a top quality tool and the very quick delivery.

Highly recommend Hanolex

Although the cutting tool I bought at the same time didn’t work at all, this closing tool is just the job for 40mm eyelets. Four hefty blows with my large hammer for each eyelet is all it took.

Hi Joss, Thanks for your comments we’ve sold lots of these and there is a knack to using them as well taking into consideration the type of hammer and surface on which they are struck against we would be more than happy to help if you’re struggling to use the cutting tool.

Perfect tool for fitting the eyelets into my curtains.
I didn’t order the hammer, as we already own a rubber mallet. It took quite a hammering to fit the eyelets (I’m a weakling) but that might be due to the mallet I used and is certainly nothing to do with the eyelets or the fitting tool. End result: the curtains look great. I can’t imagine how I could have possibly attached the eyelets without this tool. Definitely recommend it.

A meaty well made product that does the job. Needs a fair bit of force to close the eyelet halves but achievable with a heavy hammer! Delivered promptly. Excellent customer service
Maxine Howe –
I didn’t order the hole-cutting tool as I’d previously cut the holes with scissors using eyelet tape as a guide. I’d also used plastic eyelets before from Dunelm – what a mistake! They came off within days! So I ordered the 40mm brushed gunmetal curtain eyelets from Hanolex and this hand fitting tool. Absolutely brilliant! Quick delivery. Easy to use with my own heavy mallet on very thick upholstery material. The curtains were sorted and back up in 15 minutes and look amazing. So glad I bought this and I’ll never buy shop eyelet curtains ever again!

Speedy service and a fantastic product. Absolutely delighted with how easy it is to use.

Arrived promptly and is a good quality item. I didn’t purchase the hole cutting tool, but found I still had great results by cutting the hole with small needlework scissors. Purchased the chrome 40mm eyelets and these are great quality, far superior than any I found in a shop. End result was very professional.

I can’t explain how happy & excited I was. I had a message from my son that delivery will be at 11 AM but it came 10 AM. I had phoned a few places & I searched online,only Hanolex was the place I got everything (hand fitting tool & eyelets) very cheap as other places were very expensive.I was making the curtains & my son was fixing the eyelets.He was really enjoying & it didn’t take time at all only 5 minutes,whole curtains eyelets were fitted.I wish I have to make more curtains.I’ll highly recommend other customers go with Hanolex.

Used in conjunction with the hole cutter this is a first class piece of kit. Simple to use and professional finish. Was glad we stumbled across your web site looking for hole cutters.

Fast delivery and item is excellent quality made 2 sets of lovely curtains with this and the brass rings
Anne Campbell (verified owner) –
Bought the hole cutter and the hand fitting tool along with a lot of eyelets and have converted many pairs of my favourite curtains to eyelets The instructions for use were very simple and very clear.
Extremely good quality and if you use it a few times very good value.
Why did I not know about this years ago?……..you must advertise your wares more strongly…….
everyone deserves to know about them. Top class tools.

Good easy to use tool makes a good job, as it says, of setting eyelets in orange waterproof and strong sail cloth. This was for making a sail cover and side screens in garden sitting area. Very pleased with quality.
Y Moynan –
Whole process was very professional. I’m very very happy! I bought 40mm and 25mm tools and they works perfectly and results is professional. They shipped super fast to USA and customer support answered my 100 questions patiently. Thank you so much hanolex team!
Caroline (verified owner) –
Very good quality tool provided the mallet is heavy enough
Lisa (verified owner) –
Brilliant item, would definitely recommend. Professional results and really easy to use. Did not buy the cutter, used scissors instead and that was fine. Great service ordered on bank holiday Monday and it arrived on the Wednesday. If you want to put eyelets in your curtains this is what you need.
Adrian (verified owner) –
Impressed with the service, speed of delivery and this item. It’s incredibly heavy and rugged; in a good way. It’s going to make our lives (here at Bedford Alterations) a lot easier.
Julie (verified owner) –
Really excellent prioduct, I am not that strong but I managed to use it really easily on heavy canvas curtains with cotton lining and buckram tape. The eyelets look very professional and solid. Well worth the purchase
Evelyn (verified owner) –
Excellent tool. I had not made eyelet curtains before, just pleated tops so was quite apprehensive! The tool is so easy to use, just as the video demonstrates. Took about ten blows with the hammer, but the end result is amazing! 40mm is good size for a 35mm pole. Very fast delivery too.
Kulvinder (verified owner) –
I was originally thinking of getting the larger 50mm or 66mm but I’m glad I didn’t! This size is perfect for eyelet curtains and is the same size as the curtains you buy from the main retailers.
The tool is of very high quality and is easy to use. The final finish is exceptional!!! I will definitely be making more handmade curtains for my home!
Great value for money and I would recommend this product to anyone.
Kev (verified owner) –
Just the tool for the job. It was cheaper to buy than make (I’m an engineer) Does take some hitting without the correct hammer but gave the perfect result. Purchase the hammer if you have a lot to do. Great customer service
Kathy –
Very pleased with service and product, only problem was |I didn’t realise that I needed to order eyelets seperately but when i did they arrived in 2 days, great service will shop with you again.

Great price, product seems to be a very good quality. Have added a few eyelets to interlined curtains so far, it is as easy as it looks in the video. The finish is amazing, can’t tell the difference between eyelets on shop-bought curtains and our ones.
The customer service with Hanolex is outstanding, they kept me updated at all times and the items got delivered very quickly as well.
