Welcome back to Albany County Fasteners - Fasteners 101
I'm Bob and today I'm going to review and demonstrate this cordless Riveter.
So let's get started.
I have here the model RK401CR. This is a Rivet King commercial professional Riveter.
It comes with one battery, comes with one charger.
You get the power cord, get the instruction manual, you get three-in-one wrenches.
This has three different nuts that you can remove with this one wrench.
It has three additional nozzles.
There's one in there right now and it does (is compatible with) rivets from 3/32" to 3/16"
The battery here, slides in very easily.
It has a quick release so you pop it right in.
Pop it right off. Slides nicely into the charger.
Okay and if it's plugged in, it will just start charging this is actually nice
because it just slides right in and it's quick to charge.
It probably weighs about, I don't know, four or five pounds I would say approximately.
It's a nice unit. It's a well balanced unit.
What's really nice about this is that after the mandrel, I'll just demonstrate right here.
You put your rivet in, this is a number 6 rivet okay
and I'm just going to pop it in and what happens to the mandrel?
It'll actually slide back and drop into the back and you can hear that.
I'm just gonna drop them out now so you can see.
Here are the broken mandrels. So you don't have to sit there and waste your time trying to pull it out of the nozzle that's it. Another one.
There you go and another one. 1-2-3.
I'm now going to demonstrate it by having the rivets installed into steel.
I'm going to now show you how fast this rivets.
So as you can see, it rivets very quickly.
This was only for demonstration purposes.
It does a nice job at riveting. It's very tight,
it's clean and as you can see the mandrels are pulled out of the back.
Very nice unit. It's a must-have if you use rivets on a regular basis, it's a nice tool.
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations to Steven M of Pro Metal Shop in Bloomsburg Pennsylvania.
Steven is using our stainless steel button socket cap screws to rebuild an engine block.
Thank You Steven for sharing your cool creation.
It looks very custom.
We love the shiny polished stainless steel and it's gonna look great in whatever vehicle you drop it in.
Thanks again for watching and see you next week.
