Thank you for a very informative video. I'm going to replace the old caps from my mother's 23 year Honda HR-V rear parcel shelf. And I just needed a clear view on how to remove and replace them. So again thank you for your advice, it's really appreciated on how to do it the professional way. You get a clear thumbs up from me.

If you pop snap off to reset can you use the same snap or is it permanently damaged?

So the grommet tool I just bought at harbor freight is a eyelet tool or at least only eyelets came with it.

Hi! I'm working on a project right now with slightly thick leather but still within reason for the double cap rivets that I have, and I'm finding that when I try to set them it either -Doesn't go all the way in on one hit or -Bends the post completely out of shape. Does my aim/arm strength just suck? Is there anything I can do to make this work more consistently?

@leatherpunk Ай бұрын

Just a guess, but it sounds like you're using a heavy mallet. It shouldn't weigh more than 1lb and should be rawhide, rubber, or something similar, not metal.

What is the tool you are using to cut/form your rivets?

@swettyspaghtti 4 ай бұрын

Take one stud and snip the legs leaving a tiny piece for each. You can use that one to easliy alighn and mark the holes with acuracy

Yes, good idea. It gets your shape closer to the leather so you can see a better perspective.

Are single rivets best for thinner materials? The posts are sometimes too long on double cap. 😅

@leatherpunk 4 ай бұрын

Yes, those double capped rivets aren't great for thin stuff, the single cap works better.

@cryptic_kay 4 ай бұрын

Do you think the double cap ones would be fine for the jean jacket im making?

@leatherpunk 4 ай бұрын

I think it would depend how you're using them. You typically see copper rivets on denim because copper can handle being washed and it's harder than brass. If they're plated brass rivets and you're just doing it decoratively, there's probably no issue with it.

By the way, I have found that some heavy duty line 20 snaps cannot be pried off easily. To remove them, you can drill them off using 1/4" drill bit.

@leatherpunk 7 ай бұрын

The bigger snaps are tough fellas. Sometimes drilling works, but sometimes it just spins the snap. The large cap and socket can be removed the same way I remove the stud and eyelet: pry it with the cutting plyers instead of breaking it off with the screwdriver.

Thanks for this video - I've been setting rivets in leather for donkey's years, and I still found some useful tips here. Some of this stuff, like shortening posts which are too long, I learned myself by trial and error. For removing rivets without scratching up the leather too much, you might want to try out a pair of end cutting pliers (also known as end cutters or nippers) instead of the side cutters (AKA diagonal cutters) that you're using - the jaws of those will slide under the back of the rivet and snip it off neatly, especially if you grind down the jaws so they are flush cutting. They work great for trimming off zip ties as well, and they're not expensive.

What brand pyramid spots do you use? I use the ones by Standard Rivet. Though I've noticed the nickel plated brass ones start turning green on the tongs as the finish cracks when you bend the tongs. I may order some nickel plated steel ones to see if the finish cracks on that also. Not sure how easily they would rust. But I noticed the nickel plated brass ones starting to turn green after a few years. I'm thinking rust would look better than green. Though the nickel plated brass people say are more premium.

@leatherpunk 10 ай бұрын

Standard Rivet is the ONLY North American company that makes these shapes. Everybody else you're buying from is just reselling SR products. The green oxidation is inevitable, but with steel, you still get rust, it'll just be red/orange instead of green. As you point out, this only happens on the underside to the legs (prongs) because they lose plating during setting. Cost wise, rolls of brass are 3x more expensive than steel rolls. I may have told this story before, but one of my earlier belt customers was mad when he thought his chrome/brass studs were cheap because he couldn't stick a magnet to it. So, now, I also have steel for magnet aficionados.

@colt5189 10 ай бұрын

@@leatherpunk Which do you think are better pyramid spots, nickel plated brass or nickel plated steel? i.e. I'm not exactly sure why someone would pick one over the other. But I know the nickel plated brass is more expensive. I've bought mine directly from Standard Rivet as theirs look more classic to me compared to the flat/straight edges of other brands of pyramid spots.

@leatherpunk 10 ай бұрын

@@colt5189 From the perspective of someone who has about a quarter million shapes in my stock, I prefer brass over steel because they're easier to set, less of a jolt on my foot when the prongs fold.

I have rivets on a pair of Prada sneakers I purchased. The rivets hold the Prada triangle logo in place. I ended up returning them because one of the rivets snapped off. I doubt this is the repair technique to repair the Prada triangle logo back in place. I think I'm going to return the other Prada sneakers that have the same rivets. I fear they may come off. The sneakers costs me $1070.

Great video, halfway through and i got to the part where you showed how to take the rivet off the material and leave behind a usable hole without damaging the material. And while ur way is great, i feel i might scratch the leather if i grain sides and both sides need to be visible. So I wanted to share with you a way that i came up with, mostly out of desperation. And it works if you have a narrow place where the rivet is set. I basically use the rotator hole punch tool that you showed. The antique one you own. I just set the tool to a reasonably narrow hole punch and just punch through the cap of the set rivet and with a reasonable force you actually just punch through the cap and back cap...and the set rivets just fall off after that or u can easily just lift them off since you just punch throughthe locking mechanism. Hope that helps and maybe u can apply that somewehre too 👍💯

@leatherpunk 11 ай бұрын

It may work a couple times, but those bits aren't meant to pierce through metals, so you're destroying your rotary bit in the process, not very cost effective if you're running a business.

@EDCpakistan 11 ай бұрын

@@leatherpunk agreed. But ive only ever had to use it a few times and i guess it depends case to case..like how badly do you want to save the work..maybe its a long bag strap that u spent a long time hand-stitching..i wud legit waste a rotary to save that 😅

I have had my eye on this machine for a while, but with the increase in interest , I think I need to invest in one! Your insight is great, thank you. Seeing it in action, and hearing input and lessons learned from a long time user is invaluable! Thanks for taking the time to make the videos!
