Remember these
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.

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.

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. 
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.
