Double-Cap Rivet Tools

1. Mark position of rivet on top and bottom side of material layers.

2. Working on a very firm, protected work surface, position tip of hole punch on marked position and hammer with rubber mallet. Continue hammering until hole is punched through all layers. Note: Use an awl for materials that are difficult to cut with hole punch tool. Hole should only be large enough for the rivet post to pass through.

3. Insert post of rivet into hole from right to wrong side of fabric.

4. Place cap over rivet post and snap into place. Cap will be loose.

5. Position rivet on concave side of anvil; place concave end of setting tool over cap.

6. Holding setting tool straight and firmly at the base, gently hammer the two caps together.
