Vise-Grip Grommet Setters & 2 Dozen Grommets - See Sizes Available
SKU: FE5124

Description

Western Sporting's own Grommet Setters create prefect closure with these grommets. Each is bundled with 25 grommets.

These grommets close easily, evenly and quickly so the process does not stress your hawk. The falconer can tighten them down a little at a time while closing the grommet to get to the correct thickness of the leather. They are easy to use with the grommets being set in place while the hawk still sits calmly hooded on the glove. Why cast a hawk causing stress when it can be done while hooded on the glove? Try a couple grommets in the pliers until you get the hand of it.

Small / Grommet Size 00 (3/16"): Suitable for American Kestrel, Merlin, Sharp-shinned Hawk, or similar sized hawk.

Medium / Grommet Size 0 (1/4"): Suitable for Coopers' Hawk, Barbary Falcon, male hybrid falcon, male Harris's Hawk, small female Peregrine Falcon, or similar sized hawk.

Large / Grommet Size 1 (5/16"): Suitable for large female peregrine, male red-tailed hawk, female Harris' Hawk, female Goshawk, Gyrfalcon, male Ferruginous Hawk, or similar sized hawk.

XLarge Size / Grommet Size 2 (3/8"): Suitable for female Ferruginous Hawk, female Red-tailed Hawk, and other large sized hawks.

Notes: The sizes suggested here may vary perhaps one size depending on whether you are using leather or braided jesses. 

We suggest you include a FE5123 Hardened Leather Punch specifically for the size you want.

Hint: After cutting the leather anklets, glue the male and female grommet pieces in place on the anklet with a small drop of contact cement. Also, put a small dab of contact cement on the inside of the leather anklets so they stay together when placed around the hawk's legs. Then, simply clamp the grommets and complete the process. Minimal fuss for you and less stress for your hawk!
