Review on 🔨 Shop Tandy Leather Factory 3635 Easy-To-Do Series Rapid Rivets for Quick and Effortless Leathercraft Projects by Amy Mcleod

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to rivet for crafting

I have used this kit to make a range of quality belts that fit me perfectly after buying the buckles and reusing some of the leather belts. The rivets are easy to install and the kit includes small, medium (which worked for me) and large rivets in silver and bronze. These are quick rivets, so only one side (the side of the cap) is showable. The included anvil and setter did the trick. Place the flat side of the anvil and the concave side of the setting tool against the rivet head. I used a regular mallet, a few hard taps to ensure a good fit, instead of the mallet recommended in the instructions. Also, I previously experimented with rivet sizes on some of the scraps I punched out to see which worked best. If you're changing or repairing a strap, these rivets will add a professional finish. If you want a visual guide (if the video is still available), go to Youtube by typing in the keywords "rivet installation" and watch the MainLineIndustries video to see how these particular rivets work (although the rivets shown are double locked).

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
