Suggestions Next step for a grommet machine

[bigben]

I’m ready to move up from my manual grommet press to something semi‑automatic—or maybe fully automatic—without breaking the bank. That’s why I’ve been checking out some budget‑friendly Chinese models. Below are two options I’ve found online:

• Semi‑automatic press – ≈ $300
• Fully automatic press – ≈ $600

Right now I’m leaning toward the semi‑automatic model: fewer electronics and moving parts should mean fewer breakdowns. I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions on other machines worth considering.

I have three of the semi-auto ones - love them. Only thing is you can't overload with too many grommets as they will jam. Also, sometimes a grommet get turned around and causes the rest of the bin to stop. Hard part...getting replacement grommets - usually find on Amazon in packs of 500.

Also, for what it's worth - Grimco.com has the semi-autos on clearance - like $260 I think.

Seems a good deal, but I'm located in Canada.
