K.J.Holmes Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Hi Recommendations needed for a good quality ski hook/hiking eyelet fitting hand press and good solid hooks to go with it. I have a Vulcan press but that's just fine for normal eyelets very poor for hooks. I'm turning away lots of customers for something so simple. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Hi there, this is about the best one I know of, you buy the machine then the dies to go with whatever eyelets you get (they are matched usually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x minit uk Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 You can still fit ski hooks without the press , just gently open them up and fit rivet before tapping back into shape. It is easier with the press though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.J.Holmes Posted May 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Yes I do it that way sometimes open it up and rivet and works but I'd like something more professional and solid, put it in the boot in pull down the handle and it's done . I appreciate all your input and I'll give a company a ring on Monday and see what's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
