How to choose a riveter

Purpose The starting point when choosing a riveter will be the purpose of the tool.

1. If a model is required for professional activity, then a multifunctional device is selected that is capable of working with a wide range of rivets. With intensive use, it is better to give preference to models that have a compression force setting.
2. For home use fit budget fixtures that can work with popular types of rivets. It will be enough to 3-4 nozzles and a key to select the appropriate hardware for assembly.

Design. On sale you can find two options for manufacturing zaklepochnikov.

1. One-handed designs are compact in size, easy to work in hard to reach places. But the user will have to apply the compression force high enough, which is why the hand quickly gets tired.
2. Two-handed tool is able to solve the most complex tasks. It creates a lot of pressure, so there are no restrictions on the diameter and material of the rivets. Only with long handles not everywhere can work.

Working mechanism. In different zaklepochnik used stationary or mobile working mechanism.

1. When difficulties arise associated with limited space, a turning mechanism comes to the rescue. In this tool, you can turn the head to any angle.
2. Some manufacturers provide for a permutation option mechanism. In this case, the user selects one of two positions (angle of 0 or 90 degrees).
3. When one has to rivet the same type of parts in a convenient position, one can give preference to simpler and more reliable irreversible mechanisms.

Equipment. The price of the riveter is influenced not only by the brand name, build quality, functionality, but also the richness of the configuration. In addition to the tool, the manufacturer usually applies replaceable nozzles. But the key to replace them does not always fall into the set, as does the case for storing and transporting the product.

Type of rivet used. Currently, the market offers a rich assortment of rivets. But not all of them can work riveter.

1. Rivets remain the most popular type. They have a smooth surface, in the process of pulling out the rod, the edge of the sleeve is flared.Steel, aluminum and copper can be used as a material.
2. When maximum joint strength is required, experts recommend the use of threaded rivets. The inner part of this fastener has a thread, you can twist into it screws, screws or bolts. To work with this type of rivets require special nozzles.
