Review on Tandy Leather Craftool® #9 Rivet & Burr Setter in Copper & Brass (8110-00) – Enhancing SEO-efficiency by Summer Hendricks

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It was worth it

So far I've set about 30 copper rivets with it. The initial burr hole works fine, but once you trim the rivet, the poor milling of this tool leaves marks on the rivet when you try to round it off. Now the initial diameter of the rivet begins to form a ring which makes the finished product look worse. I also noticed that the impact area starts to grow like a mushroom. As another reviewer said, this tool is too soft. Bottom line: I'm sure the rivets will hold, but I'm too embarrassed to use them on a piece I'm trying to sell to a customer.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
