This 200-pack of black aluminium compression pins is ideal for DIY enthusiasts and professional tradespeople needing reliable fasteners for home improvement, automotive, or industrial applications. Their premium black anodised finish offers enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring durability. A potential consideration is the specific grip range, which may require matching to the material thickness for optimal performance.

You will need a standard rivet gun that accepts 4.8mm (3/16 inch) rivets.
The grip range for these rivets is 8mm to 10mm.
Yes, the black anodised aluminium provides good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals.
Yes, they can be used on plastic materials provided the combined thickness is within the 8-10mm grip range and the plastic is suitable for riveting.
DIN 7337 is a German national standard for rivets, ensuring they meet specific quality and performance requirements.
A damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the anodised finish.
Aluminium rivets are lighter and more corrosion-resistant than steel rivets, but steel rivets are generally stronger and better suited for high-stress applications.
Ensure the rivet gun is correctly aligned with the rivet mandrel. Check that the materials' combined thickness is within the 8-10mm grip range. Verify the rivet gun's jaws are clean and not worn.
The rivet might be slightly too large for the material thickness, or the rivet gun may require maintenance. Ensure the material is within the specified grip range. Clean and lubricate the rivet gun.
Confirm the material thickness is within the 8-10mm grip range. The hole diameter may be too large. Re-assess the material thickness and hole size for future installations.
Setup: To use these compression pins, you will need a standard rivet gun. Insert the rivet into the appropriate size hole in the materials you wish to join. Position the rivet gun over the mandrel and squeeze the handles firmly. The gun will pull the mandrel, compressing the rivet body and creating a permanent mechanical joint. Continue squeezing until the mandrel snaps off.
Compatibility: These rivets are compatible with most standard rivet guns designed for 4.8mm (3/16 inch) rivets. They are suitable for joining materials such as aluminium, thin steel, plastic, and wood, provided the combined thickness falls within the 8-10mm grip range. Always ensure the pre-drilled hole is appropriately sized for the rivet diameter to ensure a secure fit.
Care: As these rivets are made of black anodised aluminium, they offer good corrosion resistance and generally require minimal care. However, for optimal longevity, avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. If used in highly corrosive environments (e.g., marine applications), periodic inspection for any signs of wear or damage is recommended. Store unused rivets in a dry place to prevent premature corrosion.
