Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
These rivets are designed to be used with specific Rapid Hand Riveter tools, namely the RP40 and PR100 models. Ensure your riveter tool is compatible before use.
Setup:
- Drill Hole: Using the provided drill bit or an appropriately sized drill bit for your material, create a hole for the rivet.
- Insert Rivet: Place the rivet through the aligned holes of the materials you wish to join.
- Engage Riveter: Insert the rivet mandrel into your compatible Rapid Hand Riveter.
- Squeeze Handle: Firmly squeeze the riveter handles together. This action will pull the mandrel, deforming the rivet body and creating a secure bond. Continue squeezing until the mandrel snaps off.
- Remove Mandrel: Eject the snapped-off mandrel from the riveter.
Care:
As stainless steel, these rivets require minimal care once installed. They are naturally resistant to corrosion. For the riveter tool, follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and lubrication to ensure optimal performance.
