Yep. I don't have that style of staking tool... quite expensive. But
I have a plier left over from GenRad days that does the #24 eyelet to
perfection. Only issue is that its reach is limited to ~1.375", which
suffices for the present G-job :-)

You're sure it wasn't from the old Tandy 'leather craft' days?
That might be the source, but a 0.0625" OD (0.045" ID) eyelet is not
very useful in leather. I do have setting tools for eyelets up to
1/2" for tarps, and various sewing projects that my wife does.
This is a Sargent brand plier that definitely came from my lab at
GenRad (Phoenix). When they abruptly shut the doors I asked, and
received permission, to take anything not worth packing up and
shipping to Concord ;-)
A G-job....requiring a G-man?

"G-job" is American slang for a personal build using company stuff. I
have no idea of its origin.
"G-man" has various connotations, various government law enforcement
agents, or G. Gordon Liddy...
