Get a brad point drill of the correct fractional size and the grommet fits tight enough that once epoxied it isn't coming out. When you bend the grommet in the grommitizer it becomes slightly oval which makes it fit tightly.

You can grind the tips of a snap ring plier to put a dimple inside the grommet instead (NIB's method).

Here is a simple grommitizer you can make for yourself (Lu's is better) http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...ommitizer.html
