Description
Kits comprise of a hole cutter, fitting tool and 100 solid brass eyelets*.
Both eyelets and tools are made from quality materials 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.

Like some of your other reviewers, I foolishly bought a cheap grommet set to repair a tarpaulin. It broke on first use. I therefore looked online for a more robust system and came across Hanolex. Very quick delivery. I now have various Hanolex tools and eyelets and can honestly say they remind me of the tools I inherited from my grandfathers. Proudly British and incredibly well made, I expect to be able to pass them in full working order to my grandchildren one day!

Robust and very good quality materials. Straight forward to use and strong eyelets gave me confidence in my sailmaking project. Prompt delivery. Highly recommended. Not the cheapest but you certainly get a quality British item.

Top quality tool that works well.
You get what you pay for.The instructions would be better with pictures but it is pretty self explanatary.
The results are good.
I used it for eyelets in a sail.

Refreshing to find a top quality UK product at a fair price which will be fit for purpose for many years amongst all the cheap tat on offer.
Graham (verified owner) –
Not cheap but an excellent high quality kit which gives great results. It’s not difficult to use but better to try it on some spare material first to perfect your technique. As other reviewers have said, work on a wood block or chopping board.
Les (verified owner) –
Strong and good looking. Made a cover for my trailer. Worth double thinking what you’re about to do. Well constructed tools and easy to handle, get a good block of waste wood to work on, not dining room table.
Delivery good arrived before expected.
Peter –
Perhaps not the cheapest but definitely quality products which make excellent eyelets

I order the eyelet starter kit in the morning, and it was with me the next afternoon.
I had looked on the internet at other kits that were advertised but new from the look of them that they were inferior, and that the eyelets were brassed steel, and would end up rusting in a short space of time.
So If you are looking to do a proper job, repairing a sail, or a tarpaulin, or making your own, then this is the piece of kit to buy.

I ordered a starter kit with eyelets and tools on Tues, arrived Wednesday. Quality tools and genuine brass eyelets. Easy to use and produce fantastic results. I had purchased a cheaper kit from Ebay, what a pile of junk, with blunt hole punch and brass plated tin eyelets. Complete waste of money and time. I wish I had known about Hanolex from the outset. Great service and a great product.

I agree with the other reviewers. Sturdy bit of kit. I’m attacking a PVC tarp as its too big to cover my gazebo during the winter without a bit of modification. These will do the trick. I just need to fold and welkd the sheet, if I can find a way to weld a seam…. I’ve replaced the useless Velcro loop system on my summer gazebo cover using this and cable ties. And the results are excellent.

stephen (verified owner) –
Great product works very well, eyelet finish is excellent. delivery was next working day, would use this company again.
Bob (verified owner) –
Excellent product. The hole punch works well, and the robust fitting tool forms the eyelets beautifully.
I initially made the mistake of buying an Eyelet Starter Kit from eBay, and it was rubbish – the eyelets were made from extremely thin metal (described as brass-plated steel) and they scrunched into an unsightly mess.
