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.
