Hmmm. Not sure I can see pulling that off for a tool that will be used on eyelets as small as these.Here's what the "proper" forming tool and anvil look like:
You can see that the "flare" on the forming tool is concave, not convex. Also the pin on the anvil tool is spring loaded to allow it to be displaced by the pin on the forming tool as the eyelet is pressed.
Keep in mind that the eyelets I plan to be using will have an ID of between 0.02 and 0.035.
