FAQs

What is the diameter of the cap?

The cap diameter is 8mm.

What is the stem length?

The stem length is 14mm, making it suitable for thicker materials.

Can I use these on thin fabric?

These are intended for thicker fabrics; using them on thin material may result in a loose fit as the stem is quite long.

Do I need a special tool to set them?

Yes, you will need a matching 8mm rivet setting tool and an anvil for the best results.

Are these rivets rust-proof?

The silver finish is durable, but they should be kept dry to maintain the finish and prevent long-term corrosion.

Can these be used for heavy-duty leather?

Yes, their 14mm stem is designed specifically to penetrate and secure thick leather components.

Troubleshooting

Rivet feels loose after setting

The stem may be too long for your material thickness; add a washer or verify that the rivet setter is fully compressing the cap.

Cap is dented or scratched

Ensure your anvil or setting tool surface is smooth and free of debris; consider placing a piece of leather between the tool and the rivet cap.

Rivet doesn't snap together

Check that the hole punched in the material is not too large, which can cause the stem to lose alignment with the top cap.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Attractive double-sided finish
  • High durability for heavy-duty materials
  • Professional look for leathercraft
  • Easy to install with proper tools

Cons

  • Requires a compatible setting tool for best results
  • Not suitable for very thin or delicate fabrics
  • Permanent once set, requiring removal tools to undo

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For a successful installation, you will need a matching 8mm rivet setter tool and a solid surface (an anvil) to prevent marring the domes during impact. Always test the rivet on a scrap piece of the same thickness as your final project to ensure the stem length is appropriate—if the stem is too long, the rivet may crush or lean. To care for your finished projects, store items in a dry environment. While these rivets are resistant to corrosion, avoid prolonged exposure to saltwater or harsh chemicals, which may dull the silver finish over time.
