    Got this size chart from W&D to place an order for grommets.Just need to know the most commonly used grommet sizes so I can order them.
    I have few Apacs(AMP and VH series),Yonex AT 700,NS 6000 and some other brands.Will I need special grommets for Yonex rackets or will the generic ones fit?I know there is a tool to remove grommets.Is it worth the money?

    They sell them in bags of 200.


    B2-2.4 MM X 15 MM
    B3- 2.6 MM X 10.7 MM
    B4- 2.7 MM X 8.3 MM
    B5-2.7 MM X 10.00 MM
    B6- 2.8 MM X 8.9 MM
    B1- 2.0 MM X 13.7 MM

    I probably could hv used "search" but was in a hurry to order..Thx for ur input though:)

    I use B1 and B5, better longer and cut then be short and useless.

    There is a tool called a grommet grinder Alpha

    Are the grommets fairly universal ? Never heard of grommet grinder? What is it used for and how much is it?

    i think you push/twist the grommet from the inner frame, the rough surface will provide the grip it needs to push the grommet out.;)

    Hi Nightbird
    Is that W&D from Kent if so ask for Francis she will explain what you want to know about the grommets.
    They also sell a de-grometting tool which enables you to remove and replace your grommets. Code No WA306 Price £35.00.
    Hope this is of some help.
