Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these rivets, you must first drill a hole through the workpieces and then use a countersink bit to create a beveled edge that matches the rivet head angle. Ensure your rivet gun is rated for 6.4mm shank diameters; standard light-duty hand tools may not have sufficient power to pop these larger rivets cleanly. To maintain the structural integrity of your assembly, keep the rivets in their original packaging in a dry location to prevent oxidation before use. No specialized maintenance is required for the rivets themselves once installed, as they are designed to be permanent fasteners.
