Shotgun Shell Rivet Setter. For 9.5mm (3/8") Shotgun Shell Rivets. Achieve clean, professional results when installing decorative hardware with this Shotgun Shell Rivet Setter, specially designed to fit 9.5mm (3/8") shotgun shell-style rivets. Whether you're crafting rugged leather accessories, Western-style gear, or adding bold detail to bags, belts, or cases, this precision setter ensures that each rivet is seated securely and evenly—without damaging the unique shell-head cap. Crafted from hardened steel, the setter features a concave cavity that matches the profile of standard shotgun shell rivet caps, helping to center the rivet and distribute the striking force evenly. This prevents flattening or slipping during installation and gives the finished piece a clean, professional-grade look. The tool also compresses the rivet post properly into the cap or base for a solid, lasting hold—even under heavy wear. This setter is ideal for use with decorative rivets designed to mimic the look of shotgun shell heads, which are often used in leather belts, wallets, holsters, bags, guitar straps, pet collars, and other Western or outdoor-style gear.
