A:  No case was included.

A:  No

A:  No, this unit does not include a carrying case.

A:  Rubber rain boots would be too thick for the grommet kit to make a firm fitting with this kit.

A:  Lead, didn't see anything about lead on the package.

A:  The 1/4" measurement refers to the inner diameter of the grommet (the hole diameter).

A:  It should be, but it will depend on how thick the fabric of the blanket is.

A:  i would suggest cutting the holes by hand with scissors, and using this tool to install the grommets. I know I could make it work. If you are handy and creative, it should work for you.

A:  Yes it should work I bought mine to put grommets on a flag

A:  Hi phyllis, unfortunately we do not have an assembly service that can be added to your order on Homedepot.com. I believe the best advice would be to talk to one of our specialty department professionals at your local Home Depot store or you may be able to find a Home Depot recommended professional in your area at proreferral.com. Please visit proreferral.com for further assistance with this particular project inquiry. Thanks for shopping Home Depot!

A:  If I worked there, I would sure do it for you. Sadly, this is a project that will take way more time than they are willing to give you. The installation is really quite simple. One lays the area of the grommet receiving item that needs a hole, on the hard wooden block, positions the cutter on it, and WHACK goes the weasel, er, I mean hammer. I remember having a few trepidations about doing it the first time. But, I found that it was easy...and shall I say fun? Nah. But there was a satisfaction that accompanied the successful completion. I am hoping that hd means Home Depot. The only other hd that comes to mind doesn't sell grommets and charges way to much for their stuff. Home Depot has consumer friendly prices.

A:  Anything under several millimeter should be just fine.

A:  Couldn't say for sure - but the brass grommet's shoulder has to be preened over in order to hold - so perhaps 1/16" - the 3/8" grommet has a shoulder of 1/8" - so I wouldn't want to go much more than that (1/16") - at least with with the 3/8" grommet. Keep in mind that when you preen the grommet - it compresses the material. The 1/2" kit is pretty short money, so maybe just get it and run some tests? You'll find another use or uses for for it sooner or later. Good luck!

A:  Probably - but you might want to get a smaller grommet kit - like 3/8" Also - look around to find a hat that has that particular feature so you get an idea of where to position the grommets. If you look on the web for a Tilley Hat - you'll see the grommet holes are in the top part, not the brim.

A:  Yes, I would think so.

A:  I would guess yes. I had no trouble punching holes in a tarp. I never tried anything else, hats or leather belts.... If you can't get it to cut thru, you will have an outline that you could complete with a #11 blade.

A:  Tandy Leather stores will likely have grommets more suitable for your application. The store staff per my experience are knowledgeable.

A:  I'm sorry, but I do not.
