Hey Kyle. Cool riveter.👌 Awesome to see another You Need This Tool video. I used to watch 'em every Friday after work and my daughters' ears would perk up during the intro.😁 Now, one is in college and the other is in the 10th grade. Listen to this ol' fool when he tells you, we appreciate what you do and don't blink because those younguns grow up too fast. Y'all have a great weekend!👊
There are different versions of this tool. There are hand hydraulic versions, air powered versions and electric versions. Those can compress larger rivets, and aren’t tiring. Good for when you’ve got a lot of rivets to do, in a business with a lot of sheet metal work. But if you think this manual version is expensive, think again. The others can cost over $2,000 depending on the capacity. But a tool is a tool. If you need it to make money with, and it lasts for many years, it’s still cheap.
I do leather work and I like to use solid copper rivets, but I don't like using a hammer to set them, (too noisy in an apartment). I saw this tool online, but there was no demo. Found you on RU-vid. Thanks for the demo. I'll probably buy the tool.
That's a rivet squeeze the jaws are called rivet sets. Common sets are #3,#4,#5 and you can get flush sets and dimple dies for flush rivets. Don't use air hammers to shoot rivets get a proper rivet gun 2x,3x a or 4x that's how they drive.
I would recommend a video on how to determine what length rivet you need. They have gauges but not for solids. The half hollow rivet is called a hollow tail rivet if people were wondering.

What size semi tubular rivets were you using in the video? They were stainless correct? The reason I ask is the ATS website says it works on rivets up to 5/32” aluminum or 1/8” steel?
Hello I was wondering if this will work for self piercing rivets for body sheet panels? I am doing the raptor bedside conversion on my 2020 f150 and want to use the same rivets that are in the stock bedside panels.
I was just looking at the aluminum ladders at work the other day & they have that style river in them. I was wondering what kind of rivets they were. Interesting. Ha.
A long gone past friend of mine invented that stainless steel riveter (Don Townend, Tatco Rivet Squeezer) what you have there is a chinese copy of his tool. . . .www.tatco.com/
