Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first drill a 4.8mm hole through the materials you intend to join. Insert the rivet into the hole and position your rivet gun over the mandrel. Activate the tool until the mandrel snaps off, indicating the rivet is fully set. These rivets are compatible with standard hand-held pop rivet guns found in most toolkits. To ensure longevity, check the installation site for any burrs or sharp edges left by the drill before inserting the rivet. While they are made of steel, if you are using them in outdoor or marine environments, applying a light coating of metal-safe paint or sealant can prevent long-term surface oxidation.
