About 1/2in grommet tools kit pricing
Priced per unit; vendors typically quote against a primary quantity around 1 unit.
Should I buy new hardware every show?
No. Commercial-grade hardware is reusable for years. Buy the frame once and reorder only the printed graphic, which is the cheaper part.
Why do retractable banner quotes vary so much?
Mechanism grade. An economy unit and a commercial one look alike on paper but the cheap one fails sooner. Pin the hardware grade before comparing.
