Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure your rivet tool is fitted with the correct size nosepiece (6.4mm). Before drilling your pilot hole, use a drill bit slightly larger than the rivet diameter (typically 6.5mm to 6.6mm) to ensure the rivet passes through the material smoothly. For maintenance, while the steel is robust, it is recommended to clean the installation area of debris before fastening to ensure a flush fit. In outdoor or corrosive environments, it is good practice to apply a touch of paint or a protective sealant over the dome head after installation to prevent surface oxidation.
