Pros of Air Rivet GunsĪir rivet guns offer innumerable advantages over manual riveters and depending on the application are preferable to cordless, battery-powered rivet guns. Large, industrial air rivet guns used on structured steel often require two hands and a steady user, but smaller guns resemble tools such as a power drill (and ergonomically mimic) that are simply load, point, and shoot. A hose connects the tool to an air compressor, and the gun resets almost immediately after firing. The rivet is delivered into the space, and the tail of the rivet is compressed to lock it in place.Īir rivet guns require, of course, air to work. The process is incredibly quick-simply place the rivet on the end of the tool then insert into the hole and fire. Pneumatic rivet guns (also known has pneumatic hammers) operate according to a simple concept: Compressed air propels the rivet into place when the user presses the trigger. Instead of a tools and brute strength, rivets could be attached rivets more efficiently, more cleanly, and with less effort.

Pneumatic rivet guns changed construction and manufacturing more than a century ago. Plus, would you trust flying in a 747 that was riveted entirely by hand? The time would increase exponentially, and if a team of riveters was handling the job, they would probably get a little fatigued. Now imagine if you were placing each rivet with a manual tool, and each rivet took longer than five seconds to place. Of course, building a 747 takes longer than 57 days, but you get the idea-the labor behind the riveting for creating such an enormous machine is substantial. If each rivet took a hypothetical five seconds to place, you would need more than 57 days around the clock to complete the job.

Considering the heavy duty welded steel construction and its design to maximize the versatility of these tools, the pedestal adds great value to your investment.
