FAQs

Can I use these rivets on wood?

These rivets are specifically designed for metal-to-metal applications and are not recommended for use in wood.

What size hole should I drill?

You should drill a hole as close to 6.4mm as possible for the best structural fit.

Are these rivets rust-proof?

The aluminium construction is naturally resistant to rust, making them suitable for most outdoor and indoor environments.

Can these be removed once installed?

No, these are permanent fasteners. They must be drilled out if removal is required.

Do I need a special tool?

You require a standard riveting tool that supports 6.4mm diameter rivets.

Troubleshooting

Rivet feels loose after installation

Ensure the hole size is not too large and that you have fully compressed the rivet gun until the mandrel snaps.

Mandrel does not break off

Check that the rivet gun nozzle is the correct size for the 6.4mm rivet and verify the tool has sufficient stroke length.

Surface deformation around the hole

Use a backing washer to distribute pressure if the base material is thinner than the rivet is designed to handle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High strength-to-weight ratio
  • Provides a clean and professional finish
  • Effective load distribution
  • Resistant to corrosion in typical environments
  • Easy to install for both professionals and hobbyists

Cons

  • Requires a compatible 6.4mm rivet gun
  • Not intended for non-structural plastics or soft materials
  • Limited to single-use permanent applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, use a high-quality rivet gun specifically rated for 6.4mm diameter rivets. Always verify the total grip range of your materials (the combined thickness of the sheets being joined) does not exceed the rivet's effective clamping capacity. When installing, place the rivet into the gun, insert the mandrel through the pre-drilled hole, and depress the handle until the mandrel snaps off cleanly. Keep your rivets in a dry, cool area to prevent any surface oxidation prior to use. No specific maintenance is required for the rivets themselves once installed, as they form a permanent mechanical bond.
