Riveter

What is a riveter?

A riveter is an operating tool used for installing rivets. It has a pin which passes through holes to hold them together. It is used manually. The riveter has two major types-

• The hand operated and hand powered
• The hand operated and pneumatically powered

Both of them are used for installing rivets. The riveters expand and lock an empty rivet. The hollow rivet is locked by pulling a mandrel. It is pulled through the rivet body. Later the mandrel is broken and discarded. It leaves the enlarged rivet to secure workpieces.

How to use a riveter?

The rivets have been designed to join two pieces through the pre-drilled hole. The material to be joined can be of metal or plastic. It can be used for rearing household equipment such as iron. Rivets are available in various sizes, thickness, and length. The head of the rivet remains on one side of the joined pieces. While on the other side, the riveter compacts the soft amalgamated material of the rivet. It helps in creating flange which holds the sheets together.
