Hello poi makers, I'm researching grommet kits, does anyone have experience? It's the little metal ring hole punched in poi handles.
There are a variety of kits available, and some sound crappier than others. I've never used one.
Favorite brand? A brand to avoid? Some other idea for making a metal hole in leather or web handles?

Note that there are different grommet sizes, and each requires its own anvil. You probably want #1 (5/16") grommets.
