    This iron chainmail riveting tool is ready to be used to rivet together your own chainmail project. It is intended to be used with flat mail rings which are dome-riveted to seal and secure the links. The long grip gives plenty of leverage for clamping down on the rivet and its rough-forged construction is period appropriate.

    For Dome Riveting Flat Rings which have an internal diameter of approximately 9 mm in diameter and 17 gauge in thickness

      I had high hopes for this item, and conceptually there is naught amiss with it. However the one I received was misshapen(the jaws had a horizontal difference so I could not align a rivet in them without bending it grievously). In addition, the metal hath some paint or coating to make it black that cometh off onto one’s hands and is difficult to remove. In other words, could have been better.

      The Riveting Tool is not aligned properly, the hole on one side of the jaws does not match well to the opposite end. This results in the Rivet becoming bent or just twisting in the holes.

      I have bought a second one to replace my original, and I find ’tis quite practical. Though ’tis not a paragon of beauty, it is properly aligned and serveth well. My issue with the metal coating is seemingly gone(I know not how). This replacement is quite worthy and quite what I expected.

      The jaws became misaligned after two or three uses. Perhaps I received a faulty unity, but I would not recommend this product.

      DO NOT BUY THIS.

      If you do, harden the metal before you use it. The tool is made of softer metal than the rivets. After about 100 rivets, you’re not doing anything because the holes have become too big to properly deform the other end into a dome.

      I’m going to have to rework the flats of the tool and then make my own divots and then harden it before it will be useful again.

      The one I got was misaligned as other reviews have stated. I’m still using it, albeit woth some modifications to align it as best I can. 2 stars because it looks good and more or less works, but the alignment means I can’t seemyself using it long term.

      Awful tool. The divots came misaligned, and the steel is not very strong. If you can get it working the rivets damage it beyond use within 5 or 10 rings. Then you have to grind it down and remake the divots. After about 3 times doing this the tool is completely unusable. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
