I really don’t understand why “people” leave a thumbs down for videos such as this. I for one have learned something from watching this, so it’s a thumbs up 👍🏻 from me. 🇬🇧💂♂️
Hello Karl, Nice video on how to use blind rivets. I first heard of pop rivets invented by an engineer in 1916. Interesting and good information. Especially effective on plastic and similar products. In fact, it is used in many places. Blind back will provide ease of use. I have pliers used for these blind rivets for many years. (same as the first pliers you showed) And I only used a few cuts. The forceps you bought from Amazon are new multifunctional technology. 3. The collet you showed in the picture is more like manual. And others are different too. All of them have different features. There were pins made of nickel, aluminum and stainless steel. Whereas I thought it would only be aluminum. It was a good idea to put a back support (metal washer) in practice on plastic. Yes, by changing the tip of the second setting machine I saw there (madrel), I also see different ways of working. great for securing the threaded nut to the piece. This rivet pliers you bought from amazon is really cool. It has many functions and is practical to use. Thank you for sharing the introduction and details. See you. I wish you good luck. Big greetings. (looked good in storage baskets. practical storage. Bon appetit for tea)
I've been wondering about rivets for a while now but not done any investigation. I was glad to see your vid in my notifications. Yes, they we're always mini swords till I worked out what they were and still are if I'm honest 😊 thanks
Thanks Keith it's been years repairing boats that's got me well used to them. I had loads of footage left over including how to use them in Timber projects for the same look that didn't get used. I put out the removal as a short but have enough I think for a follow-up 'hacks' video. K.
Thanks Karl, that was very interesting, haven’t used pop rivets in quite a while, only got one of those cheap sets, but they’ve always done the job when required.
I've so much material left from filming some other use cases I may do a follow-up. And as far as tools go, I'm my experience they vary in terms of comfort mostly. The set rivet is generally the same regardless.
Despite having the tool I cant remember using it, I just thought it would come in handy one day. So a top guide for how to go about it when I do thanks. The threaded insert version has piqued my interest in particular. Oh and I have learnt they aren't called 'Pot' RIvets 🤦♂️ Cheers.
Thank you for introducing threaded inserts as I have never seen before and I can envisage many uses. Do you have an idea for the recommended load foe a M8 threaded insert? Many thanks.
The ones I have are Rivnut and for M8 in 1.25mm steel the pullout load is 2.21kN (221kg) and shear load strength for 2 X 1.25mm steel sheets is 320kg. In Stainless steel can support higher loads, aluminium lower. Pretty good numbers and I've never had one fail.
I think the only worry of not using washers is that the small back of the popped rivets might pull through from the inside out when you're pulling it especially if the boxes are heavy. Hopefully won't happen but would be in the back of my mind. They look much, better than screws for sure though!
They should be fine, there's four of them and the fittings are only loaded when pulling them. In my experience from boats is they tend to fail when there's a mix of sheer and axial loads. Which is an issue as it's often the case that you can't get to the backside with the washer. There's another type of rivited fitting for those situations. If they do fail I'll be sure to let everyone know and "my big mistake" style videos do incredibly well on RUclips.
There are sooo many really cool types of rivets. Unfortunately I have not seem any of them in a hardware store. They are at least 3 types of rivets which can be used for soft plastic material (or a washer) but I can not buy them. Pull through rivets are also really nice they aare flush on both sides which is suuuper super useful very often when you don´t want to have something sticking out on the other side of the connection but again you can not buy them.
You're absolutely right - there are many types of rivet fasteners. My background is in equipment manufacture and boat maintenance - very different work but very common fixing types. I wanted to make a 'reference' video for something I use a lot. I also use copper or alloy clench rivets a lot too - they're essential for reinforcing connections between fabric and aluminium/fiberglass on boats - so I might re-visit this subject again. In terms of supply, I've always used catalogue/online vendors for this sort of thing and speciality companies that support aerospace/marine uses often are the best sources. Boat chandlers are often a better bet than diy stores.
This sounds really interesting, those type of connections are rarely seen on youtube, please go ahead and make an other video, I am sure it will be interesting to learn about this stuff given your background. In terms of supply, I am in Germany and all you can buy here and the simple pop rivets, any other shape of form can not be bought by a private person without a business, in this terms Germany is a super stupid and restrictive country. This goes on with stuff like I can´t buy proper investment casting ( I wanted to pour some metal) unless I do have a business, i can´t get guns, can´t cary 99% of all pocket knifes etc. I am sure this si strange to a person in the US ( it is even strange to me) but that´s unfortunately how it is ...for now, will be leaving soon.@@StrawbyteWorkshop
Hey Dave - thanks for pointing this out. It's allowed me to update the link to something that is available and broadly similar to the one shown in the video. Since making the video, the riv-nuts functionality has been something I've used again and again in projects. So handy.

Thanks for the comment. Thumbs up or thumbs down, it got a view.
Thank you. I have never used rivets and always wondered how they worked. I may even use them now.
You're welcome and thanks for the comment.
This is a very informative video, it's clear to me you know your onions on this topic.
Thumbs up
Thanks Ryan.

Awesome video...thank you!
Hey. Thanks for the comment Mark. I really appreciate it. 👍
yes your back.....
I am and thank's for watching.
This video was really riveting, Karl 😁. Will need to get one, I can see thousands of uses with it 👍
Cheers Suj. They are a neat fixing to have to hand.
That looks very tidy.
Thanks Andy. I'm really pleased with it.
Cheers Karl, something I'd always wondered about and never had any experience with 👍 they look very handy

The threaded inserts are a revelation. Thanks for the comment.

@@StrawbyteWorkshop very ture, just think of the content! 😜😂
If one does not have welder rivets can come zo rescue for smaller metal projects. Or where heat is problem
They sure are handy.

Shame, the EYPINS 3 in 1 Rivet Gun no longer available.
