I need a tool to install grommets onto a large sheet of fabric. The material isn't super thick or anything either.

Is there a recommended style and/or brand of grommet punches/dies that I should look at?

Any recommendations for a precision screw gun? I need something with low torque so I'm not reefing everything down too hard.

I'm gonna need an infographic that lays out all the grease types available and their tacit applications.

Yeah I was a tool snob and anti-HF for the longest until like 6 months ago when I grabbed a toolbox on close out for like $200 and was like �this is pretty nice, what else have I been missing out on?�. Like Motronic pointed out, their Icon stuff is legit nice. And the easy lifetime warranty is just the icing on the cake.

I work as a contractor and grabbed some hand tools, figuring I�d beat on them and swap them out when they inevitably break, but they have been holding up great. Standouts have been the Channellock knock offs and the duckbill pliers.

And just for curiosities sake i bought their 3/8 split beam torque wrench to compare it to the Tekton. Aside from the ratcheting head, they look, feel, and work identically. I�m quite certain they are coming out of the same factory:

(Icon has a slimmer head with higher tooth count, for $20 less)

Excuse the HF fanboy post just happy to see some more quality tool options available for us

I'd be interested to compare the actual torque thresholds between the two, though. I guess you would need a measurement standard for that, but something tells me that is where your delta lies.
