Product information "Hollow Rivet Tool Single Head, Double Head - Thread: M6, M8"

This hollow rivet tool is designed for setting single-head and double-head hollow rivets in the chosen size. The tool size must always match the hollow rivet size exactly. This ensures the rivet parts are guided cleanly and set evenly.

The upper tool part is available with either M6 or M8 thread. The lower tool part is designed for a 12 mm socket . This listing is therefore intended for press systems with M6 or M8 thread and a 12 mm socket.

Which size do I need for my hollow rivet tool?
The tool size must always exactly match the hollow rivet size. For 7 mm hollow rivets, you therefore need a 7 mm tool.
Does this tool fit my press?
This listing is designed for press systems with M6 or M8 thread and a 12 mm socket.
Can I process both single-head and double-head hollow rivets with one tool?
No. You choose the tool type to match the design of your hollow rivet, i.e. single head or double head.
Is 5 mm also available with M8 thread?
No. In this listing, the 5 mm variant is only available with M6.
What material thickness can I process with the hollow rivet?
The suitable material thickness results from the pin length of the hollow rivet used minus 2 mm. Example: 6 mm single head corresponds to approx. 4.4 mm material thickness, 9 mm double head approx. 6.0 mm.
Do I need to pre-punch a hole in the material before setting?
Yes. For hollow rivets a 2.5 mm hole is needed. You can prepare this with the 2.5 mm hole tool.
Can I use the tool without a press?
No. This hollow rivet tool is only designed for use in a suitable press.

Material thickness as a guide value

  • The suitable material thickness results from the pin length of the hollow rivet used minus 2 mm.
  • Single head: 5 mm = approx. 2.5 mm, 6 mm = approx. 4.4 mm, 7 mm = approx. 5.7 mm, 9 mm = approx. 6.0 mm, 12 mm = approx. 9.5 mm
  • Double head: 6 mm = approx. 3.8 mm, 7 mm = approx. 5.0 mm, 9 mm = approx. 6.0 mm, 12 mm = approx. 8.5 mm
  • For variants without a stated measurement, the same formula applies using the pin length of the respective hollow rivet.

Important notes

  • Check the upper tool part regularly for a firm fit and retighten it if necessary.
  • Always choose the suitable hollow rivet to match the type and size of the tool.
