Thanks man i need to do alot of riveting in my school

you should post more videos about tools and how they work !

every1 knows how to use pop rivets. Solid shank rivets r hard.

very instructive. thanks

thanks alot man

oh, okay

Die cast cars arent really riveted – the top has a pin molded to it and the base has a hole and the pin sticks through the base and they peen over the pin to make it bigger. Same theory as a rivet but one side is part of the top casting.

It doesnt cut the shank, you get to the breaking point of a groove in the shank and it snaps off making a loud noise, hence the brand name of “Pop” rivets for the loud pop it makes when it breaks. Note you should use the same metal as the metal you are joining unless they are insulated with paint or you get galvanic action from dissimilar metals – steel rivet to join aluminum then water between starts the same effect as a battery and corrodes the metals by electrical action

Thanks for the video. This was very helpful.

Thanks for the demo. This takes the place of some welding duties for light duty fastening.

Dude, what the hell does “mundane” mean?

You must lead a very mundane life.

u can also get rivet nuts which u can screws things on.

rivets, and rivet guns have many different purposes, for example, ever seen the the bottom side of a Hot Wheels? There are 2 rivets holding the car together.

Pop rivets are used on many places the commercials for trains and etc. It often attaches two sheets of sheet metal. For regular metal you would use regular rivets. Regular rivets are harder to insert with a regular rivet gun. You usually have to adjust the rivet gun and it can sometimes be a bit annoying.
