Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these rivets, you will need a hand-operated or pneumatic rivet tool capable of handling a 4.8mm diameter shank. 1. Mark your hole locations precisely and drill a 4.9mm to 5.0mm pilot hole to ensure a smooth fit. 2. Insert the rivet into the hole through your materials. 3. Engage the rivet tool on the mandrel and compress the handle until the mandrel snaps off naturally. For care, keep the rivets stored in a dry, cool location to prevent oxidation of the metal surface. Avoid over-tightening during installation to prevent crushing softer wood fibers surrounding the rivet head.
