Lift the Dot Fastener Installation Tool – Marine Canvas Hole Punch Cutter

Lift-the-Dot Installation Tool

This Lift-the-Dot installation tool has been tried and tested and is designed to make fitting Lift-the-Dot sockets quick, clean and straightforward.

The tool is struck with a hammer to punch a hole through fabric materials so that a Lift-the-Dot socket and washer can be installed neatly and securely.

Ideal for installing Lift-the-Dot fasteners used on boat covers, sprayhoods, cockpit covers, gazebo curtains and upholstery projects.

How the Tool Works

• Place the tool on the canvas or fabric
• Strike with a hammer to punch a clean hole
• Install the Lift-the-Dot socket and washer

Designed for use with Lift-the-Dot sockets when fitting marine canvas fasteners.

A Helpful Tip

Most people place a block of wood under the canvas when using tools like this. That works fine, but here is a tip that works even better.

Place a magazine or catalogue (something similar to a TV guide) between the wood block and the canvas before striking the tool with a hammer. This helps produce a cleaner cut and protects the fabric.

Give it a try — you may be surprised at the difference.

Compatibility

• Designed for Lift-the-Dot sockets
• Suitable for marine canvas, upholstery and outdoor covers
