Rapid rivets and double cap rivets are often set by tapping them together with this hammer as opposed to using a rivet setter. Leather folds and braided lace are tapped flat with the leather working hammer. In shoe work, this CS Osborne leather working hammer is great for peening leather layerson the sole and heel, adhering the leather half sole and full sole after glueing, setting heel nails, smoothing leather, and hammering seams.
