Description
Made from quality brass and are designed to grip your material without compromise.
Typical uses include:
- Tarpaulins
- Sail repair
- Awnings
- Leather work
- Banners
- Arts & crafts
- Plus many more
*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 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

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.

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!
