FAQs
What materials can these rivets be used with?

What is the purpose of the dome head?
The dome head provides a low-profile, neat finish on the visible surface of the joined materials, offering a clean and professional appearance.
What does 'Multigrip' mean?
Multigrip means the rivet is designed to fasten a wider range of material thicknesses compared to standard rivets, offering more versatility in application.
What size rivet gun attachment do I need?
You will need a rivet gun set up with a nosepiece suitable for 4.8mm diameter rivets.
How many rivets are in a box?
Each box contains 500 rivets.
Can I paint over these rivets?
While the olive green color is applied, painting over them might be possible depending on the paint type and surface preparation. However, it's recommended to test compatibility first.
Troubleshooting
Rivet mandrel not snapping off cleanly
Check if the rivet gun's jaws are clean and free from debris. Ensure the correct nosepiece is fitted. Worn jaws may need replacement.
Rivet not pulling tight or spinning
Verify that the material thickness is within the multigrip range of the rivet. Ensure the rivet gun is applying sufficient force. Check for obstructions in the joint.
Rivet gun jams
Remove the jammed mandrel carefully. Clean the rivet gun's internal mechanism and nosepiece. Ensure you are using the correct size rivets for your gun.
Poor joint strength
Confirm that the correct size drill bit was used for the pilot holes. Ensure the materials are held securely together before riveting. Check that the rivet is fully set.
