I was wonder what kind of tool some of the old builders used to looks like stake the belly grommets in place. If you look up in ata Pichney plug you can see what I’m talking about. Figured one of you would know how it was done. I would like to find one to purchase if anyone knows where to get one I’m interested. Looking forward to your reply’s Don

You can use a prick punch to dimple the sides . If you drill the hole right to size you don’t have to worry about it they stay put once lightly pounded in. 

Yea the hole size is no prob I’m really not having a issue just wondering what the used did know wether they had a pair of plier type tool with 3 points that staked it I image be kind of hard to hit it with a pin prick and don’t mess up finish

Drill the hole the right size and put a tiny drop of 5 minute epoxy under the rim

I don't use grommets anymore but when i did I used this to set them
