Review on πŸ”¨ Shop Tandy Leather Factory 3635 Easy-To-Do Series Rapid Rivets for Quick and Effortless Leathercraft Projects by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great rivets but bend easily

These are great rivets but you can literally hit or miss them. The kit comes with a mini anvil and a setter (which you hit with a hammer) that works great if you center it properly on the rivet when you drive it in. The rivets, which I carefully aligned and scored *very carefully*, look nice and professional on the front and back of the part. However, the ones I was too lazy with turned out to be absolutely awful. They flex VERY easily to the side and out of line, which can result in bent caps and crooked, off-center sets. I try to use the shortest post I can as it helps with bending and tilting :) Three sizes of posts and two sizes of caps are included. Overall they are really pretty and are holding up incredibly well. .

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Long delivery time
