Hi everyone, and welcome to another Flashback Friday!!
Today, we are looking at that handy little crop-a-dile that’s been around for years- and is still one of those tools that should be in every scrap room!
In my video I also mentioned that I would list the TOP and BASE cube combinations for the common settings– so here they are:
Top/Base
Grommets: D4
Standard Eyelets: A3
Standard Snaps: B3
Oversized Eyelets: C1
Misc. and square shaped embellishments: D1
Here is the combination chart to look at if none of your embellishments fall into the top category. This chart does come with your tool, but sometimes we misplace those :).
TOP
A. 3/16 inch eyelet setter- for all standard and oversized eyelets
B 1/8 inch round snap setter. Dish shaped for all 1/8 inch round standard snaps.
C 1/8 inch eyelet setter. For all 1/8 inch standard and oversized eyelets.
D Flat Setter. For all oversized, misc. and square shaped metal embellishments and snaps
BASE
1 Large/Extra Large Eyelet and Snap Flare- for all 3/16 inch standard, oversized and misc eyelets and snaps
2 Medium Eyelet and Snap Flare- for other nonstandard, oversized and misc eyelets and snaps
3 Small Eyelet and Snap Flare- For all 1/8 inch standard, oversized and misc eyelets and snaps
4 Cone shaped Flare- for snaps and eyelets where the eyelet tube is not completely hollow and for other misc cast metal eyelets and snap shapes.
You are sooooo right every craft room should have one! I can’t live without mine. LOL
Thank you for doing this video. I have used mine with mixed results; now I know things have not always gone right…one of these days I will read and keep instructions. really. I will.
Sorry..I meant now I know WHY things have not always gone right.. one of these days I will read my comments carefully before I post them. really. I will..

Cropodile rocks!!!!! I have a Big Bite and I don’t use it terribly often but when I need it, it’s so worth having space for it!!! Much better than pounding and I love being able to go through everything without a fuss!
