Firstly let me say this is not the difinitive guide on how to set grommets, it's just the way I have found that works.
It applies to 'rym' eyelets though the same method can be followed for other types of grommet that come with similar setting tools. The 'rym' kit comes with dies that can be fitted into the small plastic piece that come with the kit or into a specialist pliers style setting tool. Vena Cava Designs UK sells this tool.
The hole punch is useful for leather and plastics though I prefer to use this method when setting eyelets into fabric. The 6.5mm knitting needle is the size I use for grommets with a 5mm hole.
Feel free to use this turorial, but please credit me, if you want a copy please send me a note. I hope it's useful.

Oh and sorry about the grubby fingernails - they're stained with soot from daily cleaning of the fire grate! Roll on summer...

Thank you for this! The instructions that came with my eyelet setter was just a pack of lies!
