Tandy Leather 1/2" Copper Rivets and Burrs Size #9 50 pack 11280-00

I needed to change the design on my gun sling for the old gun to the new. These rivets were easier to use than trying to restitch the ends.

The copper color of the metal is a natural for binding leather so it looks good. You will want to create the hole for the rivet before applying it as a fastener. It is NOT self puncturing. The copper is a soft metal but a strong metal that makes this rivet so effective because of it's thickness. Do also purchase or have a rivet punch for flatten the spoke into a clinched head on the backside of the material you are binding together.

Yes these rivets are going to be way stronger than the cap rivets I have due to peening them over they haven't and shouldn't come apart. I used these on the straps of a 70 year old m-30 swedish pack to be able to handle the weight load it looks like the same kind of rivets used 70 years ago.

These look awesome and they are made here in the USA! I can’t wait to use them.

I used these to construct a copper sheet metal cap for an outdoor fireplace. They worked great.

Bought these for my husband for one of his projects and he is very happy with them. Recommend them.

Before purchasing this product I would advise watching Tandy Leather's instructional video on YouTube regarding how to set these rivets. Although in this video a simple claw hammer is used to peen the rivet, I believe that purchasing a ball peen hammer will be well worth the cost. These rivets are very strong and appear capable of holding a large amount of weight.

Amazing as always! Always buy tandy
