Designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts involved in metalwork, construction, and mechanical assembly, these Round Head Rivets DIN660 provide a permanent, reliable fastening solution. Their primary benefit lies in the classic button head design, which offers a clean, aesthetic finish while ensuring structural integrity in metal joints. While these rivets are highly durable due to their zinc-plated construction, users should note that they require specific tools for proper installation, such as a rivet hammer or a pneumatic riveter, rather than standard hand tools like screwdrivers.

DIN 660 is a German industrial standard that defines the dimensions and shape of round head rivets.
These are primarily designed for metalwork. Using them in wood is generally not recommended as they lack the expansion properties of specialty fasteners.
Yes, solid rivets like the DIN 660 require a hammer and a rivet set (or a pneumatic tool) to flatten the shank and form the head.
They are zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, which prevents rust in most standard conditions, but they are not stainless steel.
These specific rivets have a shank diameter of 4mm.
No, solid rivets are a permanent fastening solution. To remove them, you must drill the rivet head off.
Ensure the pilot hole is not too large and that the rivet length is appropriate for the combined thickness of the materials.
The shank was not fully upset; apply more force or use a pneumatic rivet gun to ensure the head is fully formed.
Ensure your hammer or riveting tool tip is smooth and aligned correctly with the rivet head to prevent scratching the zinc plating.
To install these rivets effectively, you will need a metal punch or a rivet gun capable of exerting enough force to deform the shank, creating a secondary head on the opposite side. Ensure the holes in your materials are drilled slightly larger (typically 0.1mm-0.2mm) than the 4mm rivet diameter to allow for proper insertion. For care, while the zinc plating is corrosion-resistant, it is recommended to keep the rivets in their original packaging in a dry environment to prevent premature oxidation. If used in extreme corrosive environments, applying a light coat of industrial lubricant or a protective spray after installation can further extend the life of the joint.
