This set includes:
- Commercial quality hand rivet tool with 3-inch clearance gap for installing rivets on almost any pinball part.

Rivets & Rivet Washers: Correct factory-style round-top rivets!
Smooth round-top rivets for use with our RIVSET1 rivet tool & die set (above). Rivets have 1/8-inch diameter shaft, which are used for most all pinball applications. Available in several common pinball lengths:
6/32 Length: Short rivet, commonly used for thinner applications like riveting metal flaps to ramp entrances (original factory ramps), or thin metal parts to flat plastics.
8/32 Length: Medium rivet, commonly used for connecting brackets to flat plastics, including plastics parts, signs, and some lamp sockets.
10/32 Length: Long rivet, commonly used for connecting multiple parts like flasher lamp domes and PC boards to flat plastics.
Rivet washers are used with most rivet applications, to help secure the rivet on the back side of the assembly. (Not all parts require a washer- use old part(s) for reference).
How to determine rivet length:
Rivets are available in 1/32-inch length increments. Simply add up the measurements of the thicknesses of the materials you are riveting together, add 1/32-inch for rivet washer (if used), and 2/32 (1/16) for "clinch allowance" which is the portion of the rivet which will be "rolled" or "crushed" on the back side of the assembly. Here is a typical example:
- Metal bracket on top of a flat plastic: 1/32 inch
- Flat plastic: 2/32 inch
- Rivet washer: 1/32 inch
- Clinch allowance: 2/32 inch
Total: 6/32 - use 6/32 length rivet.
