Preventing Grommet Strip Pull-out

Many stringers hold the grommet strip in place with their thumb to prevent the strip from sliding out from the frame during tensioning. I use a miniature flat-head screwdriver for this purpose. I find it does a better job of holding the grommet strip in place, and yet it does not damage the grommet because the pressure is spread along the width of the head. You do have to be careful not to push the screwdriver against the string as tension is being pulled.
