A rivet gun is used to drive rivets into metallic objects to attach them. How Do I Choose the Right Size Rivet?

You’ll certainly be able to pop a few hundred rivets without fatigue. This is especially the case when dealing with thin fragile materials such as the Perspex we are using here. In some cases if the hole is too tight, as the gun pulls the mandrel up it can cause the rivet pin to expand in the hole slightly and if there is no where for it to go, it exerts pressure on the hole itself and the material it’s wedged against simply splits. Step 4 – Slide rivet gun die over mandrel Once the two surfaces are joined, the rivet pin or mandrel then breaks off leaving the rivet in place and fixing the two surfaces together.

Hand Riveter: A hand riveter requires only one hand with one strike to install rivets. This one comes in a small design and feels comfortable. You can use a hand riveter to handle small projects. There are multiple types of rivet guns. All serve different purposes. Below is a brief discussion on the most known types of rivet guns. Blind rivets are driven into a tight hole that crosses the two materials being riveted. Where Are Blind Riveters Used? Length - There's somewhat of a balancing act to be had with the length of a rivet gun. On one hand, professionals value rivet guns with long handles as this enables them to work in hard-to-reach places. On the other hand, too long a handle results in a clumsy experience and can make the rivet gun heavier. If the rivet pin is tight to fit in the hole you may need to enlarge it slightly using a bigger drill bit.
