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.

People Also Ask — Rivet Assortment Kits
Q: What multiplier is commonly used to estimate rivet length from the material stack being joined?
Length matched to material stack at roughly total thickness times 1.5, with the grip range verified against the actual combined thickness before ordering.
Q: When does it make more sense to buy bulk packs of a single rivet size instead of an assortment kit?
For production work where one size dominates the job — bulk packs of a single size are more economical than paying for the variety a kit provides.
Q: What's typically included in a rivet assortment kit beyond the rivets themselves?
A hard storage case with separate compartments to keep sizes sorted, typically holding 200-500 rivets covering 6-12 size variations.
Q: Why would a kit include large flange head rivets alongside standard dome head ones?
Large flange options are included for thin or fragile substrates where a standard dome head would risk pulling through the material.
Q: What tool is needed to actually install the rivets from an assortment kit?
A riveter — a hand riveter for occasional use, or a battery or pneumatic riveter for higher-volume work, which pays back its cost over a typical fitout job.
