What are the types of rivets?
Rivets are available in a variety of designs, making them suitable for certain applications. | |
standard riveter | |
This type of riveter is a basic two-handed tool. It comes with interchangeable nozzles so you can install different sizes of rivets. | |
Long-armed or two-handed riveter | |
Long arm rivets are designed to provide more force when setting larger rivets. The riveter's long arms also provide extra reach without the user having to stretch or set rivets from an awkward position. | |
These types of rivets are also used to facilitate riveting. The ability to use two hands to grip the handles allows the user to apply more pressure. | |
lazy riveter | |
The lazy riveter has a retractable body in the form of a metal "lattice". Extending and shortening the grille by pulling and pressing the handle closes and opens the handles for inserting the rivet. | |
Long nose riveter | |
The long nose of this type of riveter is convenient for accessing recesses. |
