5 x Rivets for Shovel Spade Fork Handle Repair 50x6mm rake Hoe Garden Lawnmower

I had to put a new wooden handle on a old stainless steel garden fork I had and ordered these rivets rather than use screws. They arrived in good time and I set about fixing in the new handle. I had to drill out the original holes in the fork, as the rivets were a bit bigger diameter, but that wasn't a problem. I fitted the rivet and had to cut a short bit off as it was too long. I left myself about 5mm sticking out of the fork to fold over. I then put the rivet head resting on the anvil of the vice and folded the rivet over with the round part of a hammer. All in all, I think I did a good job and the fork is like brand new. The rivet is secure and the metal is soft enough to fold over and grip the fork. Good product, but I am not sure whether I will ever use the other 4 rivets I had to buy. Shame you cannot but them individually.

Made of Aluminium. Contrary to the description they are not steel/iron but Aluminium. soft and easily peened, but not as strong as steel. A bit conflicted on score as very soft so easy to use and get a large amount of metal peened, so have made a solid join, but time will tell if it will last. You need leave much more metal protruding before peening, as its is so soft you will use 3/8 inch. I had to re-do the first one.

Good product Good quality quick delivery recommend you buy from this website thank you 😊

Purchased to attach a fork head to a new handle. The rivets are a good thickness. They are easy to cut to length with a small hacksaw and the head is easily flattened with an ordinary hammer.

Not steel

Good description, very fast delivery, good value for money.

Good quality product

Ideal for fixing spade or fork handles and easy to fit just make sure you cut the rivet to the right length you don't want too much protruding before hammering it down to form a head leave about 8 to 10 mm.
