A Rivet gun is used to fasten two or more materials together using rivets. The type of rivet gun you choose will depend on the type of project you are working on and your personal preference.
There are different types of these rivet tools, including solid, blind, tubular lazy tongs and cordless rivet guns.
- Solid rivets are the most common type and are used in a variety of applications, including construction, automotive, and aerospace industries.
- Blind rivets are used when you cannot access the back of the material you are fastening.
- Tubular rivets are used in applications where a watertight seal is required.
-
Cordless rivet guns are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience and portability. They are battery-powered and do not require an air compressor or power outlet. Ideal for small projects or when working in tight spaces.
- Lazy Tong rivet guns can quickly and easily insert rivets into the workpiece. It is best for single-handed operation and fast repetitive applications.
Just remember, when using a rivet gun, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
