Ask the Experts Tools Q&A

I need someone to contact me with hands-on experience and knowledge on how to properly use eyelet and rivet pliers (4065TL). I want to use them to set 3.5mm eyelets. The tutorial isn't clear on the proper orientation of the eyelet when crimping.

We appreciate your detailed question! The correct orientation for setting eyelets with the eyelet and rivet pliers 4065TL is:

• The flanged side of the eyelet should rest on the anvil with the solid center post.
• The tool's spring-loaded center should press into the hollow side of the eyelet to create a smooth, rolled finish.

For the best results:

• Ensure the eyelet is properly seated before squeezing the pliers.
• Test on a scrap piece first to perfect your technique.

If you’d like hands-on guidance, we can have a team member reach out to assist you further!
