Light Duty Riveter

A light-duty riveter refers to a handheld or portable tool designed for relatively less demanding or smaller-scale riveting tasks. Riveters are used to join materials, typically metal sheets, by deforming and fastening them together with a rivet. The term "light-duty" implies that the riveter is intended for tasks that involve thinner materials or require less force, making it suitable for applications where a compact and maneuverable tool is sufficient. These tools are commonly used in various DIY projects, automotive repairs, and other applications where a more robust or industrial-grade riveter may not be necessary.

Riveter

A riveter is a tool or a person skilled in the use of a riveting tool, which is a device used to join or fasten materials together by driving a metal pin or bolt (called a rivet) through the aligned holes of the materials and then securing it on the other side. Riveting is a method of permanent fastening that has been widely used in construction, manufacturing, and metalworking industries to create strong and durable connections between components.

Scissor Action Riveter

A scissor action rivet refers to a type of blind rivet that employs a scissor-like mechanism during its installation. This rivet typically consists of two parts: a body and a mandrel. The mandrel is pulled into the body by a tool, and as this process occurs, the rivet's legs spread apart in a scissor-like fashion to securely fasten materials together. This design is commonly used in applications where access to both sides of the joint is limited, making it suitable for blind or hidden fastening. Scissor action rivets are known for their ease of installation and ability to provide a reliable and tight joint in various materials.
