To insert extra large grommets, I purchased a kit with a stamp like tool that was placed over the grommet parts and then hammered to secure them. For smaller ones I have pliers but haven't tried those out yet.
Do youmean thestuds as in jeans ? If so I have the same problem and Ihave 2 packs of DRITZ ones which have given me alot of grief
I agree these are frustrating, as are metal snaps and rhinestone or metal studs. The tools I've bought to insert these things don't work for me. I'd like some tips on getting better results.
I have just given up and use little satin stitch things to do the same job and they look fine.
