ewayne53 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) I need grommets for an ax handle guard. Anything I find online looks too flimsy. What do you use for your projects? Edited November 22, 2020 by ewayne53 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spyros Report post Posted November 22, 2020 They do look flimsy (and even feel flimsy when you receive them) but they usually hold surprisingly well when they're set properly. For max toughness & longevity look at SS hardware from shops that sell sailing/boating equipment. If it can hold a sail in a storm it will hold your axe.
