The Priory 103 Series Rivet Set (3/32In) is an essential professional-grade manual tool designed for metalworkers and DIY enthusiasts who require precision when securing rivets. Its primary benefit lies in its dual-function design, which allows users to both seat the rivet and form the head using a single, durable implement; however, users should note that as a manual punch tool, it requires a compatible hammer or mallet to function, meaning it is not an automated solution.

No, the tool is precision-engineered for 3/32-inch rivets. Using it on larger sizes will result in poor head formation.
A medium-weight ball-peen hammer or a soft-faced mallet is recommended to avoid damaging the tool's striking end.
Priory tools are manufactured for industrial use, but warranty claims should be directed through your point of purchase.
While it can work with some soft stainless steel alloys, it is best suited for aluminum, copper, or brass rivets.
Wipe with a clean, dry cloth after use and store in a toolbox drawer away from moisture.
Ensure the tool is held perfectly perpendicular to the rivet tail during the strike.
Check that the rivet tail length is correct and that the tool cup is properly aligned before striking.
Ensure the base of the rivet is supported by a flat steel block or anvil and avoid excessive force that might cause the tool to skip.
For optimal results, ensure that the diameter of your pre-drilled holes is exactly 3/32-inch to avoid loose rivets. This tool is compatible with standard soft-metal rivets. To maintain the tool, keep it clean and free of metallic debris that might clog the shaping cup. Periodically inspect the striking end for mushrooming—a common occurrence with steel tools—and file down any sharp edges to ensure safety. Store in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent surface oxidation, and apply a light coating of machine oil if the tool will be stored for extended periods.
