The first impression

| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Carton is sturdy, product sufficiently protected | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | Article was packed compactly – but plastic packaging was used | 75 points |

*The maximum score is 100 points
The eyelet pl iers from CRAFTUS arrived for our test in the typical shipping box, so it was easy to open by removing the adhesive strip and was delivered undamaged.
The box contained the eyelet pliers, 200 eyelets, a punch and the warning and usage instructions printed on the packaging.
Unfortunately, plastic was used for the packaging of the eyelet pliers, but the product was completely protected in this case and was therefore in perfect condition. Unfortunately, the packaging is not completely recyclable for this reason.
The first impression is very good, as neither the product nor the packaging used was damaged.

This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

The eyelet pliers from CRAFTUS are a high-quality tool that is particularly quick and easy to use thanks to its special lever technology and extra-long handle. The tool enables eyelets to be attached with up to 20 % less effort.
Another advantage of the tool is its versatility. The magnetic punch ensures that the eyelets are fixed securely and easily, regardless of whether they are robust tarpaulins, curtains or fabrics.
The XXL complete set consists of the eyelet pliers, the punch and 200 high-quality metal eyelets (inner diameter 10 mm). This is ideal for garden tarpaulins, privacy screens, tents and more.
The tool is made of thermally hardened steel and is very robust and safe to use. This ensures maximum durability and safe everyday use.
During use, a hole is first punched in the material using the punch. The eyelets are then inserted into the magnetic eyelet punch of the pliers to secure the hole with the eyelet. As soon as the eyelet is secured, a rope can be passed through it. A test on the stability of the eyelet shows that even stronger efforts are no problem for the eyelet.
All in all, the CRAFTUS eyelet pliers are an excellent tool for anyone who needs to attach eyelets quickly and easily.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good price-performance ratio | 90 points |
| Rating cut | 4.6 out of 5.0 stars on Amazon | 80 points |
| Total | 85 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.6 stars. One criticism is that the eyelet pliers first have to pre-punch a hole in thicker material, as the eyelet pliers cannot create the hole on their own. Many customers like the good grip, the ease of use of the eyelet pliers and the strength of the eyelet. In our practical test, we were also able to confirm these points, but we found that pre-punching the hole did not cause any problems and this point of criticism sounds rather flimsy.
Prices of up to €36.69 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €18.98. The eyelet pliers from CRAFTUS are therefore in the middle price segment in our test with a price of €29.99. The price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
