Double cap rivets give a great professional finish to projects, with a tidy front and back. Sold in bags of 100 or 1000

Material: Nickel Plated

Colour: Silver

The Rivet Double Cap Nickel Plated is a premium-quality fastener designed to provide both strength and a clean, professional appearance for leathercraft, saddlery, upholstery, and general crafting projects. Made from high-grade metal with a nickel-plated finish, these rivets offer superior durability, corrosion resistance, and a polished look — making them a favourite among New Zealand artisans and DIY makers alike.

Each rivet features two caps (heads), ensuring both sides of the material display a smooth, finished look, unlike traditional single-cap rivets where one side remains unfinished. This makes them ideal for use in visible areas such as belts, bags, shoes, wallets, harnesses, and accessories.

Whether you’re securing layers of leather, denim, canvas, or vinyl, these rivets deliver a tight, long-lasting hold that stands up to frequent use and environmental conditions. Designed for use with a manual hand setter or rivet press, they’re easy to install and provide a professional-grade finish on every project.
