great for keeping gloves on you during a job
I use the grommet kit to put grommets in my gloves (lower corner, inside, opposite the thumb), and a carabiner clip to keep them on my belt. That way - they are always with me.
You will never lose/misplace gloves again with this grommet/carabiner technique.
Don't know about the reviewer who said pound on concrete - I just use the anvil provided and use a piece of 2x4 wood in my vise as a base. Works fine - only need a few taps with the hammer. Results in a perfect grommet.
A good 3/8" punch works better than the one they provide - but that's no big deal.
