    Great video. I was trying to explain rivets to my 23 year old son. He asked why they didn't just weld instead, and I explained to him that some things need to flex and move. Thanks for the video.

    Someone who runs a hardware store and knows all the stuff in there and what it's all for and how you use it, is an unsung hero in my opinion. I love it when I can go someplace and explain what I need to do - without knowing the proper names, and the person understands what I am talking about and gets me what I need, or suggests other ways of doing what I need to do. Legends.

    Simple advice. Worked just as in the video. I had a riveter and two boxes of rivets all 30 years old. Never used it before, someone gave them to me when I helped him move an industrial printer from a storage locker. I stuck it into a random bin at home and never used it till today. Low and behold the riveter and rivets were Ace Hardware brand, just like the video. How about that.

    The part of the rivet that goes into the rivet gun is called the mandrel, and the part that stays in the material is called the rivet body. It is also important to use a rivet that meets the material thickness. I sell rivets, and it's important to get the correct rivet for the application.

    I am a homeowner with a day job who does not do anything construction related for a living. That being said I am working on framing out my basement and Bought this ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt gun. I have done a few walls already, have probably shot a couple hundred nails through this thing and have yet to have a misfire. It works awesome, good depth on every nail if you have your compressor set right. My literal only complaint is that it is a bit heavy and my arm can get a little tired especially whrn I am nailing at odd angles. That being said I am super happy with it and would buy it again. Hoping the old girl allows me to get my whole basement finished out!

    Thanks, man. I always wondered how rivets work. I'm planning to go see about an old 70s aluminum camper shell in the next day or so, and it's clear in the ad photos that some of the roof is detatched. I was trying to think of how I would go about closing her up so that wind doesn't catch under there and tear her apart before I can fix her properly. Rivets seem like the way to go; maybe with a few thick beads of silicone or liquid nail

    super helpful thank you. bought one at a garage sale and had never used one before, great tutorial. what if you have 2 thin pieces of material to join, are there rivets that leave less sticking out the back? can you use an angle grinder to shorten the nub on the backside, or is the pin essentially pulling the metal tube up/into itself, so cutting it would release the tension and the hold?
