Size Name:number in pack 30 and setting tool Made in the UK Solid copper saddlers or hose rivets with washers <br>Size 10 gauge x 1/2 inch <br>3.3mm shaft x 13mm long with a 9mm head and washer<br><br>Setting Tool is also made in the UK <br><br>The setting tool is sold separately, please choose from the select menu<br><br>Rustproof, heavy-duty permanent fastening <br><br>Consisting of a flat headed solid rivet and a copper washer. The rivet is put through from one side of the pieces to be joined, and the washer then placed over it as it emerges through on the other. The washer is then set in place by pushing it down with a setting tool. Something with a hole long enough to accept the rivet stub. The stub of the rivet is then either formed into a nice dome with a rivet snap, or gently peened into a closing lump with a small hammer. This is very simple and any amateur leather worker should be able to do it. <br>Any questions please ask <br><br>How to Set a Rivet <br><br> • Punch holes slightly larger than the rivet being set. <br>• Place rivet, post up, through both holes in the leather.<br>• Place washer on the rivet<br>• Use the rivet setting tool's straight hole to drive the washer down tight against the material. <br>• Cut the rivet off close to the washer with nippers (wire cutters work fine for this). <br>• Do not cut off flush with the washer, but leave about 1/16 of an inch above the burr. <br>• Place the concave recess of the setter on the washer. Hold perpendicular and strike the tool forcefully, turning to the left then right as you strike. This spreads the end of the rivet over the washer, simultaneously rounding its end. <br>• A few extra blows from the soft faced mallet can be used to flatten the rivet end a bit if desired.<br><br> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
