Code:
6x8 J/13
Availability:
In Stock 140 packs
Double cap saddlery rivet with bite (a very useful notch near the tip of the stem) that will speed up the riveting process, primarily for belts, collars and harnesses, and increase the strength of the join. Double cap rivets are used where both sides of the rivet will be visible, or where a rivet comes in contact with other surfaces (purse and other handles, leashes, collars, harnesses, …). The rivet is specially designed to rivet single-sided swivel
#J/13 CP. The price listed is for the entire package (1000 pcs).
For proper riveting, it is important to choose the right tool both for creating the hole and for setting the rivet itself. For making the hole, we recommend punch
#KEM/LSHP20. For riveting using the hand press
#3990-00, use dies
#3997-20 Z. For manual riveting, tools
#8101-20 Z or
#RS/6x100 are suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right rivet length?
The total thickness of the layers you're joining decides. Add the shank overhang needed for spreading: the shank should be 2–3 mm longer than the material thickness.
The shank length is listed for every rivet in the dimensions table as dimension B — the full range is in the Rivets & Screws category.
The hole diameter differs by material. For leather, choose a punch slightly smaller than the shank diameter — leather is elastic and grips the shank tightly. For waterproof webbing, choose a punch that matches the shank exactly; the webbing doesn't stretch, so the shank has to pass through without being forced.
A shank that's too long shows up as a rivet that deforms while spreading, or caps that don't line up.
