Pop Rivets and Riveters
Filter by category
Pop rivets in Colorbond roof colours and silver, with the hand riveters and rivet drill bits to set them. Choose Bremick rivets in 100 or 1,000 packs, then a Lobster, Marson or Ingco hand riveter. Collect in Truganina, or have most items couriered Australia-wide at the rate checkout shows.
Pop rivets and riveters for roofing and flashing work
A pop rivet is set from one side of the job. Drill the hole, push the rivet through the sheets, and the riveter pulls the mandrel until the rivet locks them together. That makes rivets the usual fixing for flashings, gutter joins and downpipe sections, where you cannot reach behind the metal.
The Bremick rivets come in 100 and 1,000 packs and in Colorbond colours such as Monument, Surfmist, Woodland Grey and Night Sky, plus silver. Match the rivet to the flashing and the fixing disappears into the job.
Three hand riveters cover most trade and DIY work. The Lobster HR200 sets 2.4, 3.2, 4.0 and 4.8 mm rivets and stores its four nosepieces in the handle. The TT55D hand riveter has a cast aluminium body with its nozzles kept in the handle too. The Ingco HR105 has a 10.5 inch handle for extra leverage and interchangeable nose pieces.
For the holes, the double ended rivet drill set has a #30 (3.26 mm) bit for 1/8 inch rivets and a #11 (4.85 mm) bit for 3/16 inch rivets. Both are M2 high speed steel with a 135 degree split point, so they start cleanly on thin sheet.
Other metal roofing fixings are in roofing screws, and snips and notchers are in metal roofing tools.
Pop rivet FAQs
What size drill bit do I need for pop rivets?
Use a #30 (3.26 mm) bit for 1/8 inch pop rivets and a #11 (4.85 mm) bit for 3/16 inch pop rivets. The double ended set here has both.
Can I get rivets to match my roof colour?
Yes. The Bremick rivets are listed in Colorbond colours and silver. Pick the colour of the flashing or gutter you are fixing.
Is a hand riveter the same as a rivet gun?
A hand riveter is the manual rivet gun most roofers carry. It needs no air line or battery, which suits work on the roof.
Do you ship rivets Australia-wide?
The rivets, the Lobster and TT55D riveters and the drill set can be couriered Australia-wide at the rate checkout shows. The Ingco riveter is pickup or Victorian delivery.
