OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The rivet is pushed through the hole in the workpiece and the rivet pin inserted
into the rivet gun nosepiece which will grip it tightly.
When the rivet gun is activated the throttle valve allows compressed air
through the tool. The pressure of the air forces the rivet pin into the jaws which
pull the pin up into the rivet. As the pin is taken up, the base of the rivet
expands and this joins the workpiece. The rivet gun pulls the pin until it breaks
off, thereby securing the rivet. The used pins are ejected into the safety cap
for disposal.
Pop rivets have limited strength so they are typically used for fastening light
sheet metals. Professionals sometimes refer to these rivets as blind rivets, as the
user cannot see the other side of the material being riveted.
