"This tool was really handy & fool proof. LISTEN when they tell you that you need a good solid hard surface and the right mallet!!!! I first tried on my concrete verandah ledge and I was definitely struggling and a rubber mallet could not cut it. I had to get a hammer but that damages the tool :( I called it quits and grabbed a piece of granite the next day and MY OH MY! What a difference! Easy peasy!!! I am off to buy the proper mallet off the site now because tools ARE important. Love Klum House :)"

A tubular rivet peening tool is used to set all sizes of tubular rivets. To use it, vertically align the peening tool with a tubular rivet post and strike with a non-rubber mallet on a hard, stable surface. When struck, the tubular rivet peening tool changes the shape of the rivet post, forming metal spokes that dig into the leather for an extra-strong set. If you’re making the Maywood Totepack, Naito Bucket Bag or Slabtown Backpack, this tool is a must!

Everything is great quality.
I couldn’t imagine why I would need this tool, but I got it. First round, it didn’t work for me and I contacted KH for a replacement. They wrote back a very supportive note, after looking at my pictures with a few suggestions (I had looked at the video beforehand and thought I had it figured out). I needed to strike yet again, but more importantly, strike on a hard surface. I went down to the basement, sat on the concrete floor and was able to the rivet out. They weren’t as pretty as Ellie’s, but they will do. It’s going to be an exercise in “practice makes perfect” and I am confident I’ll get there! Love making bags (how many quilts and clothing articles do I need?) and love KH patterns, materials, authenticity and energy!
Love this. Thank you, Dd! Glad the concrete floor ended up working out for you. Having the right surface to set tubular rivets is key, but once you get the right set up you're golden. Hope you get lots more use out of that tubular rivet penning tool! <3

Love it! I have become a pro using it!

Neikisha! This makes me so happy. I'm sorry you went through the frustration, but YES the right tool for the right job makes all the difference! Yay for a solid hard surface, a solid non-rubber mallet, and perfectly set tubular rivets!
Hello. I'm looking for rivets to bind 3D ring binders made out of 1/8" thick birch plywood. Can these tubular rivets be used for 3 ring binders? The binder spine holes are about 5/32" in diameter. I really hope these rivets will be the answer so that I can finalize my designs and get my orders going. Thank you so much!
Hi, we have never tried using these outside of leather and fabric, so I'm not sure how it would work out on binders. The diameter of all our tubular rivets are 9/64th's, which sounds like it should fit. Rivet post length should be 1/16" to 1/8" longer than material to be riveted so I would think that the 1/4" small tubular rivets would be good to give a try. Good luck with your project! Let us know how it turns out.
