We worked on this grommet setter for a good long time. In the end, we went through a couple of different engineers and several prototypes before coming up with a very serviceable grommet setter.
They
close the grommets 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?
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!
The grommet setter comes bundled with a gross (144) grommets. A gross of any size should last a falconer a good long time.
