Just have to be careful if purchasing someone elses eyelets, other than SU.....I had a tougher time with some others. Still, you couldn't wrestle this thing from me!
This setter is awesome!!! I absolutely love it! I could use it in the same room with my hubby sleeping and not wake him up!!! the harder eyelets don't work as well, but SU! eyelets work great!

Stampin' 'til 3 in the morning!
I can't get it to cut paper for the life of me! .... ...and it's so hard to set the eyelet without standing up. Since I scrap sitting down, getting up and down is a PITA to me. JMO. I end up using a paper punch to make the holes for my eyelets instead.
I do like to use it late at night though so it won;'t wake up dd! ...lol but I'm definitely preferring my ready set tool. I got this before the karen foster and the mm setters came out.

I'm on the loving it side too. It is one of the tools I just can't live without. There is a knack to it, kind of twist and push down at the same time, but unless you have weak wrists or arthritis, you shouldn't have too many problems. I sit down and use it and have never had any problems.
I'm actually really sad that I bought it, wish I could return it. I hate how messy the eyelets look when they're set, they just split them wide open. :( The punch part works fine, but since I use eyelets a lot, my kids aren't bothered by the sound when they're sleeping. I've never woken them up from using eyelets, and there have been times when I've used them A LOT for birthday bags and such. I know I'm against the crowd here, but JMHO.
I agree that it's much easier to use standing up, but that doesn't bother me at all. I totally LOVE not having to use a hammer, plus it comes with three "anywhere" punches - that are so easy to interchange!

Here's a trick I learned from my sister-in-law, who is a SU demo. Punch the hole as you normally would with the 1/8" hole punch, then use the 1/16" hole punch on the back to finish the eyelet! It is awesome and takes no standing or pounding. It doesn't split the back at all. I haven't used it on non-SU eyelets yet, so I don't know how it would work with others.
Give it a try if you have both size punches - it works great!

LOVE IT!! It would be on my list of "must haves!" I love that it comes in its own little carrying case so it is easy to pack and carry with me to a class or crop! SU eyelets are the best with it....sold all my others on ebay!!!
I couldn't do without mine. I used to "avoid' using eyelets even when I thought they would look great with a project, because I often do my scrappin' and stampn' when my dh is either watching tv or asleep and I didn't want to be too much of a disturbance since my scrapbook room is right off from our living room. I have not had any trouble with the tool defacing my eyelets in anyway and the puches are great and a crisp clean cut out!
