EZ-Rivet Piercing And Flaring Kit - T-Bar Screws, Flat And Domed Bases 3/32 Inch

EZ RIVET: This sturdy, metalworking tool pierces metal and sets semi-tubular rivets and eyelets. Many jewelry makers use riveting as a cold forging process. Since the metals used in jewelry are often very soft and sensitive, riveting allows jewelry makers to join together separate components without exposing them to the heat necessary for soldering. PIERCING & FLARING: The EZ-Rivet Kit is a replacement kit for our EZ-RIVET and features two 3/32” T-bar screws, which can be switched out for a different size. (1/16” kit sold separately.) Also included are flat and domed bases for piercing and flaring. Use the flat base for sheet metal and the domed base for rings and other curved items. TIPS AND TRICKS: To use, place your metal blank or sheet metal under the piercing tool. Turn the screw clockwise until the metal is pierced. Turn counterclockwise to raise the T-bar and release your piece. Our piercing tools works best with metal sheets up to 18 gauge. GREAT FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS: These metalworking tools are easy to use, making them great for beginners and professionals alike. DIY hobby crafters will discover that with some experimenting, designs can be transformed into beautiful works of art, while jewelry designers and metalsmiths will appreciate the accuracy to create a professional, one-of-a-kind piece.
