Eyelet setter - is this the right type?

New to all this scrapbooking, so hope you will bear with me!

I have some mini eyelets (1/8 I think) and some larger eyelets. I also have some eyelet pliers - but these are, I now know, only suitable for the larger of the eyelets.

So, what type of eyelet setter do I need?

And if this a good price?

Thanks.

I got a very simple one for my birthday. It is one you use a hammer with, which I also had bought It has three punches and 3 setters. It seems to work okay, although rather noisy!

that's the one i have hula and its fine- it's just the noise!!

TBH I prefer using my hammer and save the silent setter for late at night work. If your not bothered about the noise and can work during the day then I wouldnt spend out on any sort of setter....the 3.99 jobbies from papermania are IMO the best setters I have used.

Jayzmummy - the one I got for my birthday (part of a bigger pressie!) was £2.99 from The Range!

and Hula I bet its just as good as the ones that are selling for £27.99.....they all do the same job at the end of the day. Just find the make that you are comfortable with and stick to it...says she who has spent thousands on craft goodies and still goes back to her cheapy tools because they are like an old pair of slippers...comfortable and reliable.

Well my silent setter has arrived and it absolutely fantastic. needs hardly any pressure and sets the eyeletts beautifully. No idea how it works but it's great. One thing that won't be going on ebay -lol
