FAQs

What types of rivets can I use with this riveter?

The Stanley 6-MR55 is designed for use with both aluminum and steel rivets.

How do I change the nozzles?

Unscrew and remove the existing nozzle, then insert the new nozzle size, making sure it is securely attached.

What is the overall length of the riveter?

The overall length of the riveter is 260mm.

How do I maintain the riveter?

Wipe down the riveter after each use and lubricate the moving parts periodically with light machine oil.

What should I do if the rivet stem gets stuck?

Make sure you are using the right size rivet for your application. If the stem is stuck, try tapping the tool gently to dislodge it. If that doesn't work, disassemble the tool according to the manufacturer's instructions to remove the obstruction.

What are the nozzle sizes included?

The riveter includes four interchangeable nozzles: 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm.

Can this riveter be used with stainless steel rivets?

While the riveter is suitable for steel rivets, ensure that the rivet material and the materials being joined are compatible.

What is the benefit of the spring-loaded handle?

The spring-loaded handle provides automatic stem ejection, which streamlines the workflow and saves time during use.

Troubleshooting

The rivet stem doesn't eject.

Ensure the spring-loaded handle is functioning correctly. Check for any obstructions within the tool and clean it. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may require servicing.

The riveter is difficult to operate.

Check if the rivet size and material are appropriate. If the material is too thick, pre-drilling holes or using a more powerful riveter may be necessary. Ensure the handles are properly gripped.

The rivet is not setting properly.

Verify that you are using the correct nozzle size for the rivet diameter. Ensure the rivet is fully seated in the tool before applying pressure. Check to make sure the materials are properly aligned before setting the rivet.
