Remember these
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hello, I have had these pliers over 40 years but somehow can't locate them. I wanted to add some small eyelet grommets to something and they are not where they were when I used them last. Last time I used them was 19??-lol-Do you remember these or perhaps have a pair you might want to get rid of?
I had this package paper from them and my grommets where I ALWAYS kept them. You would think if I kept them this long I'd know where they were.....thanks for looking or in advance for any comments.

Oh gosh, i used to have some. I doubt I still do, but will look around today. Wish me luck.

Walmart has them in the sewing dept. I have an old pair in my button jug, surrounded by all his friends.

I recently bought a pair of Dritz at Walmart for someone who asked to borrow mine. I didn't want to lend her mine, they were a present years ago. I really dislike someone asking to borrow something and know I shouldn't feel that way. So it makes me feel bad two ways. Gosh darn it.

I would say check at amazon.com or ebay. It is amazing what I have found between those two places. From american woman cookbook to fabrics to baking supplies.

Oh yes, I made several rompers for my boys when they were toddlers! Loved them! I’m sure I still have them…now to find the patterns..

I use to have that. I probably forgot what they were used for. Don't know what I might have done with them. Evidently I haven't needed them or I would know where they are.

well i can't find mine. probably gave them away in my many clean outs.

Not a solution but I am wondering if you loaned them to someone and you both have forgotten. I do that with books and years later want to read the book I know I have only to find it missing. I don't loan my "stuff" as much now because....I have thinned out what I have to just the essentials and an old brain that forgets. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/hug.gif I would look on Amazon or E-bay like others have suggested.

I still have mine somewhere -- oh the joys of silvery snaps instead of buttons! And the little boxes of brightly colored grommets, oh the joy those would give the cat....

I do see them often in bags of stuff in the thrift store. Usually in the craft items but sometimes in tools.

some thrift stores like goodwill have an online shop, does yours?
