***Updated, October, 2015.***
I can no longer recommend these eyelets; the quality, in particular of the silver/nickel finish, has degraded considerably since I first began purchasing this item. The last two times I ordered, (Multiple pouches each time,) there was a gross preponderance of nickel finish eyelets when compared to the other colors, and the quality was alarmingly poor - on some, the finish is dull and scraped looking; on others, the finish is bright but the eyelets have visible flaws or bumps. Many were not circular, and some were partially crushed on one side. Essentially, none of the nickel finish eyelets were of acceptable quality. Also, don't plan on getting much in the way of black; in an order of 4 pouches of 100ct each, I received 34 black eyelets, total.
While the copper and black eyelets were still of good quality, (And the brass remain irregularly finished,) there weren't many of either among the assortment, and each pouch contained so many damaged or badly made nickel eyelets that I can't leave my glowing review in place.
*** Original Review***
These Pro Tool single-piece eyelets are the best I've yet found. You won't get an even 25/25/25/25 split of colors from these packets, but if you buy in quantity (I do) things seem to even out over multiple packets. They crimp with excellent regularity, rolling down over the raw fabric edge and securing the eyelet firmly; it takes a lot of force to rip the fabric away from the eyelet.
The only cons I can note:
There is significant irregularity in the color of the brass eyelets; some are much more orange than others.
The copper eyelets lose their coppery color when pressed, and end up looking only vaguely copperish , instead of the bright copper penny color they have before use.
While I am still a satisfied customer with Dritz two-part eyelets in black, I believe these Pro Tool eyelets have a more consistent quality than the Dritz nickel and brass one-part eyelets.
