FAQs

What is the primary use of this hand riveter?

This hand riveter is designed for installing threaded rivet nuts in materials where access is limited to only one side, suitable for applications like body panels, bicycle frames, and furniture.

What metric sizes does the riveter support?

The riveter comes with interchangeable mandrels for metric sizes M3, M4, M5, M6, and M8.

Does the kit include rivet nuts?

Yes, the kit includes a selection of steel threaded rivet nuts to get you started: M3 (40pcs), M4 (24pcs), M5 (20pcs), M6 (10pcs), and M8 (10pcs).

What material are the included rivet nuts made of?

The included starter selection of rivet nuts are made of steel.

What is the length of the hand riveter?

The hand riveter is approximately 11 inches (270mm) in length.

How do I change the mandrels?

You can change the mandrels using the included wrench to unscrew the nose piece, swap the mandrel, and then screw the nose piece back on.

Can this tool be used for stainless steel rivet nuts?

While the tool is designed for both aluminum and steel rivet nuts, it is recommended to check the specifications of the rivet nuts you intend to use, as some may require more force than this hand riveter can comfortably provide for proper setting.

Troubleshooting

Riveter not pulling the rivet nut correctly

Ensure the correct mandrel size is installed for the rivet nut. Check that the rivet nut is properly seated on the mandrel. Verify the pull mechanism is clean and lightly lubricated.

Rivet nut spins after installation

The rivet nut may not have been seated properly, or the material is too thin. Ensure you are using the correct size rivet nut for the material thickness. Practice on scrap material to perfect the pulling stroke.

Mandrel is difficult to change

Make sure the riveter is fully open and that you are using the correct wrench for the nose piece. Ensure the mandrel is not cross-threaded when being removed or installed.

Handles feel stiff

Clean the pull mechanism and apply a light coat of lubricant to the moving parts. Check for any obstructions or bent components.
