A manual rivet gun is a simple, hand-operated tool used to install “pop” or “blind” rivets, which are a type of fastener used to join two or more pieces of material. Unlike a screw or bolt, a rivet creates a permanent mechanical joint.

Here’s how a manual rivet gun works and its common uses:

How it Works: The gun has a nosepiece that fits over the rivet’s mandrel (a long, thin pin). When you squeeze the handles, the tool pulls the mandrel, which in turn deforms the end of the rivet’s body. This creates a secure, bulged head on the back side of the material, locking the pieces together. The mandrel then “pops” or breaks off, leaving a clean, finished joint.
Types: There are two main types of manual rivet guns:
- Pistol-grip: These look like pliers and are used for smaller, lighter-duty jobs.
- Lever-action: These have long handles, similar to bolt cutters, and provide more leverage. They are better for larger, harder-to-set rivets, such as those made of steel or stainless steel.
