Knifekits Eyelets press dies for Kydex...

Hello !
I have a hand press (see picture below) but my dies split the back of the eyelets.
I would like to wnow if I can use the Knifekits eyelets setting dies with my press ?
What is the size (diameter) of the shaft of the knifekits dies ?
In my press, the hole for dies is about 0.5" diameter.

I have write two messages to Knifekits but I had no reply...

Thank for your help !

I can measure the OD of the shaft of the dies in the morning, I just mounted mine in a 1/2 ton arbor press from Harbor Freight ( 19.99 on sale ) and cant remember the bit size I used to drill the holes. Thinking 1/2 inch but I aint slept much in the last 72 hours so dont hold me to that . Will let you know in the morning though
