This is how we use the tubular rivet setting tool which is often called a tubular rivet peening tool. Choose a tubular rivet that sticks through your leather so that about 1/16 inch to 1/8 inch sits above the leather thickness. Put the cap side down on a metal anvil or solid metal surface so that the open tube is facing upwards. Take the tubular rivet setter tool and put the end of this setter on top of the tubular rivet post that is sticking up. Strike it with a hammer several times so that the tube splits apart into a number of legs in a star burst shape to hold the leather. We stock 5/16", 6/16", 7/16", 8/16 and 9/16" tubular rivets to use with this setting tool.

Good Quality
Bought the tool to repair a horse halter. Peening tool has a nice feel. Last leather products I worked with as a kid was Tandy.
