FAQs
What tools are required to install these rivets?
You will need a 2-part die set designed for 15mm round rivets, used with a setting tool like a 'green machine', or a dedicated 15mm hand punch tool for round rivets.
How many rivets are in a pack?
Each pack contains 25 dome cap rivets and 25 matching tubular back studs.
Can these rivets be used on fabric projects?
While designed for leathercraft, they can be used on very thick and sturdy fabrics if the material can support the setting pressure and hold the stem securely.
What is the primary function of bag feet rivets?
Their primary functions are to protect the base of bags from scratches and scuffs, and to enhance the aesthetic appearance with a decorative, polished finish.
Are these rivets suitable for outdoor use?
The nickel-plated finish provides rust resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications, but prolonged exposure to harsh elements may eventually affect the finish.
What are the dimensions of the rivets?
They feature a 15mm dome cap, a 9mm tubular stud, and a 3mm stem.
Troubleshooting
Rivet not setting securely
Ensure the correct die set or punch tool is being used. Check that the stem is fully inserted through the material and the cap is properly aligned before applying pressure. Verify material thickness is within the suitable range.
Material is damaged during installation
Use a cutting mat underneath the material to prevent the punch tool from damaging your work surface. Apply pressure gradually and evenly. Ensure the die set is centered correctly.
Rivets lose their shine or show rust
Wipe with a soft cloth. While nickel-plated, prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive substances can affect the finish. Ensure items are stored in a dry environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have the correct tools: a 2-part die set compatible with a 'green machine' style press or a 15mm hand punch tool specifically for round rivets.
- Prepare your material by punching the appropriate size hole for the rivet stem.
- Insert the tubular stud from the underside of the material.
- Place the dome cap rivet over the stud on the outer surface.
- Using your chosen tool, apply firm, even pressure to securely set the rivet.
Compatibility:
These rivets are compatible with a wide range of leather thicknesses and other sturdy materials typically used in bag making, belts, and upholstery. They are designed to work with the specific 15mm die sets or hand punch tools.
Care:
To maintain the glossy finish and rust-resistant properties, wipe the rivets with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
