Brand: Hanolex

External Diameter: 23.3mm*
*approximate sizes
Typical uses include:
- Tarpaulins
- Sail repair
- Awnings

*An eyelet consists of two parts: the eyelet “front” and a “washer” the material is tightly griped in a sandwich between them when fitted by the tool.
We make our eyelets from high quality solid brass NOT brass plated steel, therefore they don’t rust. They’re made to the original BS3102 standard and so are produced from suitably thick enough brass not to distort when put under strain and to not feel “flimsy” or lightweight.

The transaction was pleasant from start to finish. The eyelets and the fitting tool were delivered promptly and we well packed. Both were of excellent quality and the instructions were simple and clear. It took a couple of practice attempts to get it right, but once mastered, the secure fitment of the eyelets was a doddle. I used them to replace some poor quality eyelets on a canvas backpack and the Hanolex items have breathed new life into the bag. Not the cheapest to buy and order (eg the postage) but it was worth it to ensure a quality product and service, and to ensure a one-time fitment of the eyelets. Well done.

Perfect for making the drainage holes in the gazebo roof having used them for a few years am delighted that they continue to be a high standard. I have also used them in my crafting of bags with good results

We’ve been using these eyelets for many years on our wrestling ring canvases and turnbuckle pads. Fantastic products.

These eyelets are brilliant. We have used them on flags for any festival twice now and the flags were still holding up even though they had been blown about all weekend. The first lot also worked well and were re used the following time- 3 years later.
Delivery was great – received next day as promised when we ran out and needed them quickly. Thankyou new will be using you again .

Good quality strong eyelets. keep their shape and provide a strong hold. Bought the sail eyelet closing tool as well which works really well with them. Will buy again from Hanolex in the future

I ordered the number 28 kit absolutely spot on came the next day as ordered. The only slight gripe is the size of the hole punch 11mm seems a little on the small side for a 14mm size eyelet.
Still very pleased with the service!

Product is actually good if you can get them to send it out / deliver it. Just don’t expect the next day delivery you pay for to happen – 3 days and waiting.

Hi Alex, I’ve checked the status of your order and as you had placed it on Friday after our cutoff time and after we closed the order was processed and dispatched on Monday (the next working day) and was delivered today Tuesday at 1:30 (the day after), this would be within our expected timeframe for this situation.

Perfect for what i needed fixing eyelets on a camping tarp

The eyelets did the job as intended though they were made of somewhat thinner metal than I had expected for Sail Eyelets.
As this was the only item I needed the whole transaction was over expensive because of the high cost of using a courier for all deliveries. They could have been sent by post at much lower cost which would have reduced the cost a bit. I appreciate that Brass is expensive but deliver need not be.

Dear Ian
Thank you for your feedback, the design of our sail eyelets is from the original BS3102 specification and as such the thickness has remained unchanged since the original specification was laid down in the late 1950’s. Sail eyelets are suitable for a wide range of high performance uses and have been tried and tested over many years.
I appreciate our minimum delivery charge of £4.90 may seem high when applied to a small order however it is important that we are able to track orders and provide proof of delivery so we use only reputable couriers and Royal Mail charges are comparable for small packages using next day signed for services as.
Kind regards
Hanolex
