Product details
Description
The Tandy Leather Craftool Rivet Setter (Model 8100-00) is a specialized 3-inch heavy-duty metal hand tool engineered for precise rivet placement in leather craft projects. Designed specifically for attaching rapid rivets and crystal rivets, this solid tool features a concave tip end that fits neatly over rounded caps. This unique design prevents flattening, distorting, or marring the hardware surface during hammer strikes, ensuring clean and professional finishes on belts, bags, holsters, and custom leather goods.
Crafted with a knurled grip body, the tool provides maximum control, non-slip handling, and accurate fastener alignment while working on high-density leather surfaces. Tailored for professional leathercrafters, artisans, and hobbyists alike, it pairs seamlessly with standard setting anvils (such as model 8056-00) to deliver tight, long-lasting hardware bonds. Imported directly from the USA, it offers industrial-grade durability and performance for reliable daily workshop use.
How to use
- Prepare your leather by punching an appropriately sized hole for your rivet post.
- Insert the rivet post through the hole from the back and snap the cap onto the post from the front.
- Place the base of the rivet onto a sturdy, flat anvil or setting surface.
- Position the concave tip of the Craftool Rivet Setter directly over the rivet cap, holding the tool vertically straight.
- Tap the end of the setter firmly with a mallet or hammer until the fastener is securely set.

solid build for leather work
Been making custom leather holsters and belts as a weekend hobby and was getting frustrated with caps flattening out when hammering. Picked this up to try out. The concave tip end actually makes a big difference in keeping the rounded caps from getting crushed or marred. Took a bit of practice on some scrap pieces to get the strike pressure right without setting things crooked, but once you get the hang of it, the non-slip knurled grip gives proper control. Delivery was smooth and on time.

phir se mangwaya
Pehle wala tool kahi ghum ho gaya tha workshop me toh ye wala fir se order kiya. Rapid rivets lagane ke liye yehi wala use karti hu bag aur wallet repairs me. Concave head ki wajah se cap damage nahi hota bilkul bhi. Thoda dhyan se hath sambhal kar hammer marna padta hai warna tedha set ho jata hai, par overall bohot kaam ka cheez hai leather work ke liye. Packaging normal cardboard box me aayi thi, safe tha.

works good for crystal rivets
Does the job well. The metal feels sturdy and heavy-duty in hand. Using it with a matching anvil and a light mallet on my leather projects. Just make sure to tap it lightly a couple of times instead of one massive strike so the fastener stays aligned.
FAQs
How to use a Tandy rivet setter?
Punch a hole in your leather material, insert the rivet post, and snap the cap on top. Place the piece over a flat metal anvil, position the concave tip of the setter straight on top of the rivet cap, and tap firmly with a mallet until secure.
What is a good leather rivet setting tool?
