Scissor Action Riveter

WhatsApp Order

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.
