Riveting Tools

Buy Riveting Tools in the UAE

Fabrication, automotive, and construction work in the UAE requires strong, permanent joints between materials. Riveting tools are specialised instruments that set rivets - small, strong fasteners for permanent connections.

These tools join materials like sheet metal, plastic, and composites where screws or welding won't work well. They create secure bonds that last.

FEPY offers carefully selected high-performance riveting tools. Our tools feature strong construction, reliable performance, and comfortable designs.

Our range includes versatile hand riveters for occasional use and powerful pneumatic or cordless rivet guns for high-volume work. They help professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts create strong, lasting connections easily and efficiently on any project.

How to Select the Best Riveting Tools for Your Project?

Choosing the right riveting tool is crucial for creating strong, secure, and durable connections. Consider these key factors when making your selection:

Type of Riveting Tool:

• Manual Hand Riveters: Most affordable and portable. Ideal for occasional use, small projects, and light-duty rivets (e.g., aluminium, small steel). Requires manual effort.
• Accordion-Style Hand Riveters: Offer more leverage than standard hand riveters, making them easier to set slightly larger or more complex rivets.
• Pneumatic Rivet Guns (Air Riveters): Require an air compressor. Highly efficient for high-volume work, repetitive tasks, and setting harder/larger rivets (e.g., steel, stainless steel). Reduces user fatigue significantly.
• Cordless Rivet Guns (Battery-Powered): Offer ultimate portability and speed without an air hose. Ideal for job sites, mobile applications, and high-volume work where power access is limited. Consider battery voltage (e.g., 18V) and Ah.

Rivet Type and Material Compatibility:

• Blind Rivets (Pop Rivets): Most common. Set from one side of the workpiece. Ensure the tool is compatible with the rivet material (aluminium, steel, stainless steel) and its strength requirement.
• Solid Rivets, Semi-Tubular Rivets, Structural Rivets: Require specialised, often heavier-duty tools (like rivet guns/hammers or presses), which are beyond standard "riveting tools." FEPY's range primarily focuses on tools for blind rivets.

Rivet Diameter & Grip Range Capacity:

• Diameter: Riveting tools specify the range of rivet diameters (e.g., 2.4mm to 6.4mm) that they can set. Ensure the tool can accommodate the sizes you'll be using.
• Nosepieces: Most tools come with interchangeable nosepieces to match different rivet diameters.
• Grip Range: The combined thickness of the materials being joined. Ensure your chosen rivet length (and thus the tool's capacity) can handle this.
• Pulling Force (for Power Riveters): Measured in pounds (lbs) or Newtons (N), this indicates the force the tool can apply to pull the rivet mandrel. Higher pulling force is needed for larger diameter rivets and harder rivet materials (steel, stainless steel).

Other Crucial Features:

• Mandrel Collection System (for Power Riveters): Power rivet guns often have a built-in container to collect the broken mandrels, keeping the workspace clean and safe.
• Ergonomics and Weight: For high-volume or prolonged use, consider the tool's weight, balance, and grip comfort to minimise user fatigue.

Trust the FEPY team. Our experts will guide you through the selection process, ensuring your riveting tool is ideally suited for your job.

FAQs

What is a rivet, and what is a riveting tool used for?

A rivet is a permanent mechanical fastener, typically cylindrical, with a head at one end. A riveting tool (often called a rivet gun or riveter) is used to deform the unheaded tail end of the rivet, creating a second head, which permanently secures two or more pieces of material together. It's used to create strong, secure, and lasting joints.

What is a "blind rivet" (or "pop rivet") and how does a riveting tool set it?

• A blind rivet (commonly called a "pop rivet") is a tubular rivet with a mandrel through its centre. It's designed to be inserted and set from one side of the material (blind side).
• The riveting tool pulls the mandrel, which causes the blind end of the rivet to expand and flare, forming a strong bond before the mandrel snaps off, leaving a clean, secure joint.

What's the difference between a hand riveter, pneumatic riveter, and cordless riveter?

• Hand Riveter: Manually operated, ideal for small jobs and occasional use. Requires physical effort.
• Pneumatic Riveter: Air-powered, very fast and efficient for high-volume, repetitive work. Requires an air compressor.
• Cordless Riveter: Battery-powered, offers portability and speed comparable to pneumatic without hoses. Excellent for job sites and mobile applications.

FEPY offers all types to suit various needs and budgets.

How do I choose the correct rivet size (diameter and length) for my project?

• Diameter: Choose a rivet diameter that matches the size of the hole you are drilling and provides adequate strength for the application. Your riveting tool must be compatible with this diameter.
• Length (Grip Range): The rivet's length must be appropriate for the total thickness of the materials being joined (the "grip range"). Too short, it won't set; too long, it won't create a strong connection. Rivet manufacturers provide charts for the proper grip range.

Can riveting tools be used to join different types of materials?

Yes. Rivets can join various materials, including sheet metal (aluminium, steel, stainless steel), plastics, leather, fabric, and composites. The choice of rivet material (e.g., aluminium rivets for aluminium, steel rivets for steel) and rivet type is crucial for compatibility and strength.

What are the essential safety precautions when using riveting tools?

• Wear PPE: Always wear safety glasses to protect against flying mandrels or material fragments. Gloves are also recommended.
• Correct Size/Type: Ensure you are using the correct rivet size and material for your tool and application.
• Secure Workpiece: Ensure the materials being joined are stable.
• Proper Technique: Follow the tool's instructions for the appropriate setting.
• Mandrel Collection: For power riveters, ensure the mandrel collector is attached and emptied regularly. FEPY prioritises safety and encourages adherence to all guidelines.

What maintenance is required for riveting tools?

• Cleanliness: Keep the tool clean and free of debris.
• Nosepiece Maintenance: Ensure nosepieces are clean and undamaged. Replace worn jaw sets if pulling becomes inconsistent.
• Lubrication (for pneumatic): Add pneumatic tool oil regularly to air inlets if specified by the manufacturer.
• Battery Care (for cordless): Follow standard battery care practices (as outlined in our Batteries & Chargers FAQ).
