As long as you are not gifting or selling you can do whatever you’d like. I would hate for something bad to happen because someone melted the backs and they broke. Safety eyes are safety tested and should be used as directed by the company that made them.

i use the socket method with a hammer…or i just use the socket to push with the eye part on a flat hard surface.

those are super difficult to get on.

usually have my partner do that part for me. :sweat_smile:

I put them on backwards on purpose because it’s easier! :sweat_smile:

I think you could try putting them on backwards if all else fails, but there’s some better tips here!

Yes, here at the Treasure Box we use sinker eyes pretty much daily. The attachment tools are a game changer. Makes life so much easier.if not, A hammer and wrench will do the job as well :slightly_smiling_face:

The one rissa76 recomended will work on them.

I find that the only size we still need to use a hammer on, are 45mm size sinkers.
