Anyone tried the Making Memories eyelet setter/punch?
Is it me or do these NOT work? I have tried it with several brands of eyelets, without success. Or perhaps have I got a defective one? I have pushed the handle until it clicks 4-5 times without even a dent in the eyelet. Linda
The instructions didn't seem very clear to me when I first got mine; are you pushing down until you hear a big "pop?" Increasing the tension like the previous poster mentioned may help as well.

Thanks for suggestions. I thought I increased the tension. I turned and tried the handle both ways and pushed all the way down as far as it would go, did hear the click. Any other hints? Linda
i just bought this one at M's with a 50% off coupon and LOVE IT!! cannot believe i ever used a hammer!! i have used with a variety of eyelets and have had great results - have had to push down more than once for some of them, but it still beats using a hammer!
Well I guess mine IS defective, didn't even punch cleanly throught SU cardstock. So I will return it for another and give the new one a try. Thanks! Linda
Hi Linda. I just happened to come across this thread. I've noticed when I use my mine that I have to be sure I'm using it on a hard, solid surface. My craft table has just enough give to it that it doesn't work very well on it, so I've found it works better if I use it on a stiffer surface. Hope you get it to work for you! I love mine!!
