Use the HandyPress® Twist-Lock Eyelet Leg Folding Die Set to quickly and easily install Twist-Lock eyelet fasteners. This die set solves the cumbersome task of manually flattening Twist-Lock eyelet legs over the washer one-by-one with a screwdriver or prong bending tool. It is compatible with both nickel/brass and stainless steel Twist-Lock hardware (sometimes called Common Sense Fasteners). This two-piece set includes one upper and one lower die. Both dies must be oriented correctly for the direction of your fastener installation.

Pair this die set with the HandyPress® Twist-Lock Eyelet Hole Cutter (#126800, sold separately) to install Twist-Lock fasteners in seconds.

To Use: 

1. Use the HandyPress® Twist-Lock Eyelet Hole Cutter (#126800) or Sailrite® Twist-Lock Eyelet Hole Cutter (#108001) to cut the hole and four slits in your material assembly. 
2. Install the upper die into the main vertical shaft's inner diameter and secure with the thumbscrew in the upper threaded hole. 
3. Install the lower die into the tool base and secure it with the thumbscrew. 
4. Set the tool for appropriate compression as directed in the HandyPress guidebook. Check the die orientations before use.
5. Insert the Twist-Lock eyelet fastener into the right side of your assembly. Place the washer inside the four legs on the back side.
6. With the back side facing up, place the fastener over the bulbous end of the lower die, capturing the assembly.
7. Holding your assembly in place with one hand, pull the handle down to fold the eyelet legs and complete the fastener installation.

Note: This die was designed for the Sailrite® HandyPress®. To see if it is compatible with other hand presses, check the Dimensions tab and verify that it will attach to your press.
