I used to be so good at using this thing! I picked it up the other day and went to set an eyelet and the whole thing was smashed!

Any Tips or Tricks you can share? I am sure it has something to do with the sizes of the setter....but I can't be sure. :mad:

Thanks!
Julie

Hi, Julie! I bought mine a few weeks back but have been really intimidated by the looks of it to use mine thus far. I too would be interested in tricks and any other info that anybody can share with us!

for using it. If you saved the cardboard from the packaging, it tells you how to set them correctly for each type and size of eyelet and snap. I messed up the first eyelet I set, but smooth sailing after that. Be sure you press gently at first, especially since some eyelets are weaker than others. You can feel it give when it is set. I hope that helps. Love this tool!

Depends on the metal thickness of the eyelet. I had some that just keep smashing right up. If you start out with lite pressure and keep an eye on it that helps. For most of my eyelets I have the one side of the Crop-a-dile set on the setting that looks like a cone.
