33.5 Nail Rivet 9 mm / 0.35 in Setting Die KLP00335

What Is a 33.5 Nail Rivet Setting Die Used For?

This 33.5 Nail Rivet Setting Die is a two-piece die set used to install compatible 9 mm / 0.35 in nail rivets. The upper and lower die surfaces support controlled alignment during pressing, helping reduce cap deformation, uneven closure and off-centre installation.

This is a setting die only. Rivets are sold separately, and the tool does not punch the material or create the rivet hole.

Compatible Rivet System

The die is designed for the 33.5 nail rivet system. The related rivet format uses a 9 mm / 0.35 in cap with a steel cap and aluminium nail structure.

The 33.5 name identifies the rivet system, while the 9 mm dimension identifies the setting surface and cap-size group. Final compatibility should always be checked against the actual cap profile, nail geometry and die surface.

Not for Double Cap Rivets

This die should not be used for double cap rivets. A double cap rivet has visible caps on both sides and requires different upper and lower setting surfaces. A matching nominal size does not make nail rivets and double cap rivets interchangeable.

Does This Tool Punch a Hole?

No. This is a Rivet Setting Die, not a Punching Die. Prepare the material according to the actual nail diameter, material structure and combined thickness of the layers.

Do not select a hole size from the cap diameter alone. Test the actual rivet on the actual leather, synthetic leather, canvas, webbing or textile stack before production.

Typical Applications

• Bag handles, straps and reinforcement points
• Leather goods, wallets and card holders
• Belts, webbing and strap ends
• Textile accessories and organiser products
• Denim, workwear and fashion details
• Footwear, repair and sampling applications

Press Compatibility

The die is suitable for compatible hand presses and table presses. The current product options list M6 and 1/4 in connections; these are different thread standards and must not be treated as equivalent. Confirm the actual thread diameter, pitch and die-holder connection before use.

Use a compatible Manual Hand Press only after physical compatibility has been confirmed.

Correct Application Sequence

1. Select a compatible 33.5 nail rivet.
2. Check cap profile, nail structure and total material thickness.
3. Prepare the correct hole for the actual nail.
4. Position the rivet and material in the upper and lower die surfaces.
5. Apply controlled, aligned pressure.
6. Check cap alignment, closure quality and material condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rivet system is this die for?

It is for compatible 33.5 nail rivets with a 9 mm / 0.35 in cap-size group.

Can it set double cap rivets?

No. Double cap rivets require a separate Double Cap Rivet Setting Die.

Does this tool punch leather or fabric?

No. It is a Rivet Setting Die. Hole preparation is a separate operation.

Can every 9 mm rivet use this die?

No. The actual cap shape, nail construction and closing geometry must match the die.

Can it be used with a hand press?

Yes, when the die holder and press connection are physically compatible.

What should be tested before repeat production?

Test the real rivet, material stack, hole preparation and press pressure together.
