About Installing Solid Rivets

Steel Flat Head Solid Rivets
Installation of solid rivets requires access to both sides of the material as well as a hammer or a solid rivet tool. To achieve the most consistent results and a professional appearance, we recommend using a riveting air hammer with a rivet setter that matches the rivet's head style, and a bucking bar.

Low-Profile Flat Head Solid Rivets
Also known as tinners' rivets, these are commonly used in HVAC and other thin sheet metal applications.
Installation of solid rivets requires access to both sides of the material as well as a hammer or a solid rivet tool. To achieve the most consistent results and a professional appearance, we recommend using a riveting air hammer with a rivet setter that matches the rivet's head style, and a bucking bar.

Two-Piece Press-Fit Rivets for Leather and Fabric
Also known as slam rivets, the two heads provide a finished look on both sides of your material. Use a hammer or press to join the mating parts. Access to both sides of the material is required.

Screw Nails for Sheet Metal
Also known as flat-head Type 21 screws, these fasteners drive like nails but hold with screwlike strength. The zinc-plated finish provides rust resistance. Use them in drilled and punched holes. The hole size should be slightly smaller than the shank diameter.
