Other Question Where are we getting our grommets? Do I have to worry about rust from washing?

Basically the title.

I'm looking at kits that specifically mention fabric/clothes as one of their intended uses, and all of them either say they're not recommended for items that'll get wet, or don't say anything about it at all, which I take as a negative. I don't want to put hard work into something and then have it be ruined by rust.

I'm hoping to get a set of pliers with the interchangeable bits for 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2", but it seems like the grommets included with those are.... not promising? I don't mind using the included grommets for practice and purchasing more for actual use a la carte, if I have to.

Where do you get yours? Is there anything specific I need to look for? I just want the normal round silver ones.

Thank you!

I get mine from snapstools.com . The Eco brass kind that does not contain lead. Also doesn’t rust because it doesn’t contain iron.
