FAQs

What tools are required to use these rivets?

You will need a compatible rivet gun (manual or pneumatic) to install these rivets. The rivet gun is not included in this assortment.

What sizes of rivets are included in the assortment?

The assortment includes standard flange rivets in 3.2 x 8mm, 4 x 10mm, and 4.8 x 14mm, and large flange rivets in 3.2 x 10mm, 4 x 10mm, 4 x 14mm, 4.8 x 14mm, and 4.8 x 18mm.

Are these rivets suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the black anodised finish provides good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, for extremely harsh environments, specialized exterior-grade rivets might be considered.

How do I choose between standard and large flange rivets?

Large flange rivets provide a greater bearing surface area, making them ideal for joining softer or thinner materials, or where extra support is needed to prevent pull-through.

Can I buy individual sizes from this assortment separately?

This product is sold as a pre-packaged assortment. Individual rivet sizes are typically sold separately.

What is the benefit of black anodised rivets?

The black anodised finish offers a professional aesthetic, can match black components, and provides a degree of corrosion resistance.

How should I store the rivets?

Store the rivets in the provided partitioned box in a dry location to keep them organized and protected from moisture.

Troubleshooting

Rivet gun not pulling rivet head

Ensure the correct rivet head size is seated in the rivet gun's jaws. Check that the rivet gun is functioning correctly and free of obstructions.

Rivet mandrel not snapping cleanly

The rivet gun may require maintenance or the jaws could be worn. Ensure you are using the correct size rivet for your gun and materials. Check if the rivet length is too long for the application, which can sometimes cause issues.

Poor joint strength

Verify that the correct rivet size and type (standard vs. large flange) were used for the material thickness. Ensure the holes are appropriately sized and that the rivet gun applied sufficient force.

Rivets tarnishing or discolouring

While black anodised rivets offer good corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or very damp conditions can affect their finish. Store unused rivets in a dry place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive selection of commonly used rivet sizes.
  • Includes both standard and large flange types for versatility.
  • Organized storage box prevents loss and simplifies selection.
  • Black anodised finish provides a professional look and corrosion resistance.
  • Suitable for a broad range of general repair and fabrication tasks.

Cons

  • Fixed assortment may not include niche sizes.
  • Requires a separate rivet gun tool (not included).
  • Black finish might not be suitable for all applications.
  • 200 pieces might be insufficient for very large projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

To use this rivet assortment, you will need a compatible rivet gun (not included). Select the appropriate rivet size and type for your materials. Insert the rivet into the rivet gun, then place the rivet through the pre-drilled holes in the materials you wish to join. Squeeze the trigger of the rivet gun repeatedly until the mandrel snaps off, securing the rivet.

Compatibility:

These rivets are designed for use with standard manual or pneumatic rivet guns that accept the specified rivet diameters (3.2mm, 4mm, 4.8mm). They are suitable for joining a wide range of materials including metal, plastic, and wood, provided the material thickness is appropriate for the rivet length.

Care:

Store the rivets in their original partitioned box in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Keep the box closed to avoid mixing sizes. Regularly check your rivet gun for debris and ensure it is functioning correctly for optimal performance.
