Hiker, Stimpson, or Fastsnap Grommet Machine ?

[Chad.]

I need to pick up a grommet machine ... Any opinions on the three listed ? They are all in the same price range ... im just wonder if one is any better than the other ...

Thanks
Chad

How can you love a grommet machine ?

The all do exactly the same thing in exactly the same way. Go for the one you get the best deal on.

I have a Stimpson, does just fine, but I don't think that it matters which one really.

Machine

I use only Stimpson's never any problems

We just got a Fasnap machine. Works just fine. I know that you cna only use dies made for each machine, but is there any issue with using, say, stimpson grommets in a fasnap machine? Seems like they should work, but I dunno

Stimpson here too...Works great!

On my 2nd Fasnap. I liked the ergonomics a little better than Stimson. See if you can try each one to compare.

Don't think the grommets will interchange. Contact mfr and ask.

Fasnap. Has never missed a hole-in-one yet and ours is about 15 years old. Soon time to get a new die.

Hiker is a bit heavy...but pricing was right for me and works great. Also able to use it with some cheapie grommets I had cases of. Made the investment for me worthwhile. Probably going to get another one soon.

I have been using a Stimpson for about 3 years now without a problem. I would have no problem purchasing or recommmending another one.

I cast my vote for Fasnap...performs flawlessly and has a vast array of products that you can use if you get the die set for each one. I don't believe the grommets are interchangeable with the Stimpson so one factor may be whatever grommets your supplier carries.

Too much Infornation ?

I didn't say I was in love with it . . .

just that I loved it [how it worked] you know ?

:U Rock:

I have had good luck with my Stimpson.

I have an extra die set for a Stimpson if anyone needs one for cheap.
