Hand Riveters, Locking pliers

lightweight manual riveting tools are ideal for simple jobs such as joining sheet metal or thin materials. if you need to repair a metal panel, for example, or join two pieces of sheet metal, rivet pliers will probably do the job.

if you want to join two materials that last and withstand vibration, a rivet is a good choice. rivets are easy to install and are a great replacement for screws or bolts as they do not loosen over time. there are several different types of rivets, but pop up rivets are one of the most popular.

blind rivets are a type of blind rivet intended for installation from one side of the joint, making them extremely valuable in manufacturing and assembly applications where you cannot access both sides of the workpiece. these rivets are called pop rivets because of the similar sound when the core breaks.

of course, there are applications where hand riveters are awkward to use or do not apply enough force. in such cases, you need powerful riveting pliers. one option is battery-powered riveters, which are portable and useful on the job site or where a power source is not readily available. for industrial applications such as manufacturing or where you need to set up multiple rivets quickly, a hydraulic or pneumatic riveter may be more appropriate.

rivet nuts (nut rivets) provide a fast, reliable and inexpensive system for threading into thin steel sheet or tubular material. rivet nuts offer many advantages over other fasteners such as nuts and bolts.

threaded rivets, or nut rivets, provide a clean, durable thread for bolts to join materials when the joining materials are too thin or weak to support the fastener independently. these unique fasteners are also so-called "blind", which means that they can be installed on one side of the board to be connected, if the other side is not accessible. although their function is simple, they require special riveting pliers to install.
