This is your standard hand rivet tool. This is good for most installations of rivets all the way up to a #6.
Mandrel goes in to the tool first like this.
All the way in. I'm going to place it and then you squeeze it until you get the snap.
Nothing special about it. It's a hand tool.
It's made for the DIY guy or the contractor that just puts in a couple of rivets every now and then.
Or he's putting in the soffit and he needs to install some rivets.
It's just mainly for simple, easy installation.
Then we have the big bolt cutter type. This is made for structural type rivets, 1/4" or larger.
You'll see it only goes so far in.
It's important that the rivet sits all the way into the tool.
The only way on this tool that the rivet will go all the way into the front of the nose is by opening the arms.
So I've opened the arms all the way and you saw that the rivet now falls all the way in place.
I'm going to insert it into the hole and now I'm going to crimp the rivet.
One...and two. BAM!
I don't know if you heard that but the pieces of the mandrel that are left over are actually dropping in here into this little cup.
This is for large rivets, stainless or aluminum. This will handle large rivets.
This is a pneumatic rivet tool and you need to have an air source to supply air to it.
You need about 80 pounds of air, 60 to 80 pounds.
So I'm going to put the mandrel into the rivet tool. Let's go install.
Watch this.
Fast action. Quick. The material doesn't matter.
It can be stainless, it can be aluminum, it could be steel, it doesn't really matter what.
Whatever you put in, this tool will get the job done fast.
So I have this cordless Riveter. It's pretty light, about 6.5 pounds.
I put a new nozzle on the head to handle a number six rivet.
You can use this rivet tool up to a number eight.
It comes with two batteries, the charger, and it comes with miscellaneous tools and nozzles.
It's pretty cool how this adjusts.
You take the nozzle off then you unscrew the nose off to change for the different size of rivet you're using.
Then you just screw the whole nozzle right back on.
The whole head just screws on. The head adjusts so you don't have to do anything else on the inside,
other than slip your rivet in there after you put the correct nose on.
I'm going to demonstrate right now for you the installation of a rivet with this riveter.
First we put it into the material and now I'm gonna hold the button.
Then it kicks the mandrel out. So here's the mandrel and you can see in here is the rivet.
Perfect. It's cordless, not pneumatic. No air is required.
Great for job sites. I'm going to do another one for you.
Done. There you go. You can watch how this tool pulls the rivet.
This probably weighs about, I don't know, four or five pounds I would say.
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 six rivet. I'm just going to pop it.
The mandrel will actually slide back in and drop into the back and you can hear that.
I'm just gonna drop them out now so you can see them. 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. One-two-three. It has three additional nozzles, there's one in there now,
and it does rivets from 3/32 to 3/16. I'm going to now show you how fast this installs rivets.
It does a nice job at riveting. It's very tight, it's clean, and as you can see:
the mandrels all popped out of the back. Very nice unit. It's a must-have if you install rivets on a regular basis.
Thanks for watching.
