Riveters - ToolsRUs
Unlike other tools such as pliers and screwdrivers that can be used for a wide variety of applications, riveters are used for one thing. They attach rivets which are a type of permanent fastener. Available in numerous sizes and grades, rivets are used in industrial works such as bridge building and aeronautics as well as for smaller, non-structural uses. Depending on how they are used, rivets and riveters vary widely. Industrial-grade rivets are used in aircraft construction, to make bridges, ships and other large structures.
Rivets were once exclusively used to join two pieces of steel. Welding is the preferred method today, but for smaller jobs rivets may still be used. For domestic use, riveters or rivet guns are used in craftwork, sewing and for joining pieces of metal. Rivets are fasteners like screws and nails, but they are permanent, while the other types can be removed. About the same size as a pair of large pliers, small household or shop riveters are useful handheld tools. Non-industrial rivets are inexpensive, as are the tools to install them.
It takes a single hand to operate a riveter. Swivel-head and right-angle riveters are the most common types. The tools feature handles that are spring loaded for easy use and durable steel construction. Comfortable rubber or plastic grips usually coat the handles. Handheld riveters are capable of fastening rivets made of aluminium, steel and perhaps stainless steel. They usually include several interchangeable nose pieces for use with rivets of different sizes. With many designs, the pieces store conveniently on the handle of the tool.
The handle of swivel-head riveters rotates 360 degrees relative to the head to make it easy to work in tight spaces. Whatever position is most comfortable for your hand, this tool allows you to do it. By contrast, right-angle riveters have their handle set at 90 degrees to the nose like an L.

Useful for tasks as diverse as assembling a light metal frame or attaching metal body parts to a racecar, handheld riveters are needed by metalworkers. These tools are too small and the rivets too weak to provide structural support. For intense engineering jobs, industrial-grade rivets and riveters are necessary. If you work with metal on your own or in a shop, a good pair of riveters is an indispensable tool.
