Question Eyelet setters

I am in the market for a better eyelet setter. Although, I do love to hammer my eyelets, I am looking for a setter which will open the eyelets up evenly all the way around the back so they look (almost) as nice on the back as they do on the front.
I have gotten 2 RAK cards that have eyelets with perfectly opened eyelets!
Appear to have been scored evenly all the way around so when open and set it is completely even all around the back

Would love any recommendations/imput anyone cares to give about the porducts available.
Thanks KIM H.

I don't think it's so much the SETTER used as the FINISHER. I swear by mine that I got from www.ImpressRubberStamps.com. I've had it for about 5 years now and won't set eyelets w/o it.

Red face Well Duh..... do I feel dumb!

I got a tool set from Making Memories that called a "Universal Eyelet Setter." Never asked how to use it (mistake number one).
Just now, I went to the Impress Rubber Stamps site and learned that I have been trying to use the FINISHER instead of the SETTER. The little pointy thing that I never used is the SETTER. It makes a much smoother, rounder opening on the back. The little bumpy groovy things are the FINISHERS.
I just put an eyelet into a folded scrap of cardstock and it works 10 times better this way.
Thank you Melissa!

I have the Provo Craft Silent Setter and LOVE IT! I just finish off the back with a little whack from my hammer to get it completely flat.

I have teh silent setter and it does flatten the eyelets so that they look like a little flower on the back. I love my setter and wouldn't be without it. It is in my top 5 of tools.
