Rivet Assortment Kit Selection — Quick Reference
Rivet assortment kits = pre-selected mixes of common rivets in single case. Right purchase when needing rivets across range of sizes + not wanting to manage individual stock. Workshop + service van + maintenance team standard.
| Rivet Kit Type | Contents | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminium Blind Rivet Kit | 3.2 / 4.0 / 4.8 / 6.4mm × various lengths | General sheet metal + automotive panel |
| Steel Blind Rivet Kit | 3.2 / 4.0 / 4.8 / 6.4mm × various lengths | Heavier load + structural sheet |
| Stainless Blind Rivet Kit | 3.2 / 4.0 / 4.8 / 6.4mm SS304 + SS316 | Marine + chemical + corrosion exposure |
| Multi-Material Mixed Kit | Aluminium + steel + stainless across sizes | Workshop variety |
| Rivet Nut Kit (Threaded Insert) | M3 / M4 / M5 / M6 / M8 rivet nuts | Adding threads to sheet metal |
| Domed Head Standard | Standard dome head — most common | General application |
| Truss Head (Large Flange) | Thin sheet + oversized hole — see truss head rivets | Pull-through prevention |
| Sealed (Closed-End) Rivet Kit | Watertight + airtight applications | Marine + outdoor sealing |
Critical sizing: Rivet shaft diameter must match drilled hole + length matched to material stack (total thickness × 1.5 rule of thumb). Grip range = the material thickness the rivet can secure — verify before ordering kit. Brands: Champion, GJ Works. Companion: rivets, rivet tools, truss head rivets, types of rivets guide.
Rivet Assortment Kits for Australian Workshops and Service Vans
A rivet assortment kit is the right purchase when you need rivets across a range of sizes and you don't want to manage individual stock for each. Curated kits cover the most-used aluminium, steel, and stainless steel blind rivets in mixed sizes — typically supplied in a hard case with separate compartments for each size. For Australian service vans, maintenance kits, and small fabrication shops, a rivet assortment is the everyday solution. AIMS Industrial stocks rivet assortment kits in the configurations trade users actually need.
What's typically in a rivet assortment kit
- Mixed sizes — typically 4mm and 5mm diameter rivets in lengths from 6mm to 16mm
- Mixed materials — aluminium body with steel mandrel for general use, all-aluminium for soft substrates, stainless for corrosive environments
- Standard dome head and large flange options — large flange for thin or fragile substrates
- Hard storage case — separate compartments to keep sizes sorted and rivets in good condition
- Common quantities — typically 200-500 rivets per kit covering 6-12 size variations
Where rivet kits earn their place
- Mobile mechanics and service vans — the right rivet on hand without carrying full bulk packs
- Maintenance and repair work — fixing brackets, panels, and assemblies where the original fastener is gone
- Light fabrication and panel work — quick fastening of sheet metal assemblies and brackets
- Apprenticeship and training kits — variety pack for learning rivet selection and fitting
- Restoration and fitout work — having multiple sizes on hand without committing to bulk pack quantities
Choosing the right rivet for the job
Rivet selection depends on three things: diameter (sized to the hole, typically 0.1mm larger than nominal), length (the grip range, which must cover the combined material thickness plus a small allowance), and material (aluminium for soft substrates, steel for stronger joints, stainless for corrosive environments). The kit gives you choice across all three; for production work where one size dominates, bulk packs of single sizes are more economical.
Tools you'll need
A rivet kit needs a riveter to install the rivets — see our air rivet tools and hand riveter range for the matching tools. For higher-volume riveting work, a battery or pneumatic riveter is many times faster than a hand tool and pays back over a typical fitout.
