Rivet Set (Set & Snap)

Set and snap rivet sets are hand-held tools used to fasten two materials together by means of a rivet. They are commonly used in metalworking, woodworking, and other precision applications where a strong and reliable joint is required.

Set rivet sets typically consist of a steel or aluminum rod with a concave head at one end and a knurled or textured surface at the other end for a secure grip. The concave head is used to set the rivet by placing it on the head of the rivet and striking it with a hammer or mallet. This action deforms the end of the rivet and creates a strong and secure joint.

Snap rivet sets, on the other hand, are designed to fasten rivets without the need for a hammer or mallet. They typically consist of a set of pliers with a head that can be used to snap the rivet into place. The user places the rivet into the pliers and squeezes the handles together to deform the end of the rivet and create a strong and secure joint.

Set and snap rivet sets are available in various sizes and styles to suit different applications and materials. Some models may include interchangeable heads or tips for increased versatility, while others may feature a spring-loaded mechanism that automatically retracts the tool after use.

Set and snap rivet sets are an essential tool for precision work and are commonly used in metalworking, woodworking, and other precision applications to fasten materials together with a strong and reliable joint.
