• Lift-The-DOT® Fasteners:
  
  
  • Installation of Lift-The-DOT® fasteners is a bit more manual than installing other fasteners. Holes can be cut with a razor blade and then the prongs can be folded over with the Prong Bending Tool for Lift-the-DOT® fasteners (#120445) or a screwdriver. Special hole cutters and other tools make installation much easier. These tools are available from SailRite:
    
    
    • Lift-The-DOT® Hand Punch (#100972) cuts holes for 2-Prong Studs.
      
    • Lift-The-DOT® Hole Cutter (#110012) cuts the center hole and slits for Lift-The-DOT® Sockets.
      
    • Lift-The-DOT® Deluxe Hand Punch (#100695) cuts the center hole and slits for the socket in one squeeze.
      
    • Pres-N-Snap® Tool (#109011) with additional die set (#106397) installs the Eyelet-Type Base Stud only.
