Selizo 480 Sets Small Double Cap Leather Rivets 4 Colors 3 Sizes Tubular Metal Studs with 3 Pieces Setting Tool Kit Review (2026)

Who this rivet kit is for

This kit suits hobbyists and small-batch makers who need rivets for light to medium leather projects like card holders, small bags, straps, and general repairs, rather than someone building load-bearing hardware for heavy tool belts or work harness. Having 480 sets across 4 colors and 3 small sizes in one box means most color-matching decisions are already solved before a project starts, since gold, silver, and darker tones cover the finishes most leather hardware uses. Because the setting tool is included, this also works as a starting point for someone who does not already own rivet-setting tools and wants to try adding hardware accents without buying tools and rivets separately.

What is actually included

The kit ships as small double cap tubular rivets in three cap sizes, sorted into 4 finish colors, along with a 3 piece setting tool kit needed to install them. Tubular double cap rivets work by nesting a cap and a post together and flaring the post open with a setting tool and a hard surface, rather than solid rivets, which are peened over solid. That construction is lighter duty than a solid rivet, which is exactly the trade-off the site's own listing flags: tubular rivets hold up fine for decorative accents, card holders, and light straps, but are not the first choice for a load-bearing strap junction on a heavy bag or belt.

Setting rivets and living with the kit

Installing these rivets means stacking the post through the leather layers, seating the cap, and striking the setting tool with a mallet on a firm, flat surface so the post flares evenly without denting the cap. Getting a clean set takes practice, since the total leather thickness needs to be less than the post length or the rivet will not seat properly, and an off-center or angled strike can crack the small caps. With 480 sets on hand, mistakes during that learning curve are not a big setback, since there is plenty of hardware left to try again on the next hole. Keeping the sizes and colors sorted in their original tray helps avoid digging through mixed hardware mid-project.

How it stacks up against other rivet kits

Against a kit like the Hotop copper rivet and burr washer set, which uses solid rivets built for structural strength on straps and burr washers, this Selizo kit is aimed lower, at decoration and light repair rather than load-bearing joints. Compared with similarly sized kits like Jetmore's 420 set or the 640 set mixed kit, Selizo's 480 count and 3 sizes sit in the middle of the pack for both quantity and size range. If a project needs a rivet that will carry real strap tension, a solid brass or copper rivet and burr washer combination is the safer choice over any tubular double cap rivet, including this one.

Verdict

Choose this kit if you want a generous, well organized supply of small rivets and colors for decorative hardware, card holders, and light strap work, plus the setting tool needed to get started right away without a separate purchase. The color and size range covers most small accessory projects, and 480 sets is enough to practice the technique repeatedly without worrying about running short partway through a batch of items. Choose a solid rivet and burr washer kit instead for anything that needs to carry real structural load, like a bag strap junction, a dog leash, or a heavy belt repair where a tubular rivet is more likely to fail under sustained tension.
