Troubleshooting
Rivet does not set properly
Ensure the hole diameter is exactly 8 mm. Verify that the combined material thickness is within the 20-24 mm grip range. Check that the correct drive rivet tool is being used and is functioning correctly.
Rivet mandrel breaks prematurely
Confirm that the rivet is not being over-tightened. Ensure the material is not too hard or thick for the rivet's specifications. Inspect the drive rivet tool for any obstructions or damage.
Poor holding power
Re-check the hole size; an oversized hole will reduce holding power. Ensure the materials are tightly pressed together before setting the rivet.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a secure and permanent fastening solution.
- Durable black finish for a clean look and corrosion resistance.
- Suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
- Comes in a practical pack size of 20.
Cons
- Specific dimensions (20 x 24 mm) may not fit all material thicknesses.
- Requires a pre-drilled hole of a precise 8 mm diameter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These drive rivets require a pre-drilled hole with a diameter of 8 mm. Ensure the materials to be joined are clean and free of debris. Insert the rivet body into the aligned holes. Using a suitable drive rivet tool (not included), set the rivet by driving the mandrel, which expands the rivet body to create a permanent lock. The recommended grip range is 20 x 24 mm, meaning they are suitable for materials with a combined thickness within this range.
Compatibility: Compatible with materials that can accommodate an 8 mm hole and fall within the 20-24 mm grip range. Suitable for use with metal, plastic, and composite materials commonly found in industrial, automotive, and engineering sectors.
Care: Drive rivets are a permanent fastener and do not require ongoing care or maintenance once installed. Their black finish offers good corrosion resistance, but prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive environments may affect the finish over time.
