Manual thread riveters buy in Moscow at a low price

The thread riveter is a metalworking and assembly tool. It is designed for reliable fastening of thin-walled materials, for example: metal sheets, profiles, panels. The combined thickness of the connected elements can range from 0.5 to 6.5 mm. Threaded rivets, also called riveted or rivet nuts (from M3 to M12), are used as fasteners. The workpieces are connected through pre-drilled holes, and you can work “blindly” - without access to the back side of the structure.

Manual thread riveter

A riveter for threaded rivets has advantages over blind rivets:

The ability to fasten materials and at the same time create fastening points into which you can tighten a bolt or hook.
More careful, accurate, safe installation. Less likely to deform or damage parts, paint or decorative coating, or cause injury.
Large diameter rivets (M8-M12) are fastened better.
No residual stresses in the assembly unit.
A stronger, more durable connection that is resistant to stress and vibration.
The ability to fasten parts made of different materials: metal, plastic, fiberglass, fiberglass, composites, wood.
Greater variety of rivet nuts, both round and hex. The latter are good because they do not scroll in the hole made. Fasteners are made of carbon and stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and copper.

Minuses:

The main disadvantage is that this manual riveter is more expensive, as are the consumables for it. The second disadvantage is the leaky connection point. However, you can insert a plug or use a special closed-type fastener.

Types of riveters for threaded rivets

The following types of rivet guns for threaded rivets are currently available on the market:

Manual riveter Externally it resembles pliers or pliers. It works due to the physical efforts of the master. It is characterized by low cost and ease of operation.
Pneumatic riveter The operating principle is based on the use of compressed air supplied by a compressor.
Pneumohydraulic riveter The design is equipped with a hydraulic system with a piston, but also runs on a compressor. This combination provides increased force of the working mechanism.
Electric riveter The process of installing a rivet is fully automated - you just need to connect the tool to the power supply and press a button.
Cordless riveter They are considered the most mobile and autonomous, since they do not require “connection” to the electrical network.

Advantages of manual thread riveters:

inexpensive price;
compactness;
wide range of rivet diameters – m10, m10 from m12;
excellent connection quality;
ease of use and maintenance.

Modern rivets – blind and threaded

The riveting process has become faster not so much due to the advent of tools, but due to a radical change in the design of the rivet itself. To secure modern fasteners, it is enough to have access to only one side of the material, and the riveting process takes place in a matter of seconds.

A blind rivet (pull rivet, pull rivet) is a well-known type of fastener that is used in almost all industries related to construction, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. The product itself consists of a sleeve and a rod - just insert the fastener into the prepared hole and pull out the rod using a special tool to get a strong connection.

Blind rivets are made from different materials and are divided into groups of different sizes and types of flanges. The standard bead is a universal rivet that can be used everywhere. A hidden side is a fastener, when installed, the surface is smooth, without the head protruding onto the surface. A wide bead is used in cases where the pressure under the head needs to be distributed over a large area of material. This is relevant under increased loads or in cases where delicate, brittle materials are used.

Copper rivets are very durable because they resist corrosion well and have a certain ductility. Most often, they are purchased for work on the roof, when installing facade elements and drainage systems. Structures secured with copper fasteners last outdoors much longer than their counterparts made of other metals. Due to the softness of the material, such products are pliable, so they are easy to work with hand tools. Copper fasteners can be found on everything from delicate electronic devices to a denim jacket.
Aluminum rivets are also corrosion and weather resistant. They are extremely light and inexpensive, and due to the plasticity of the metal, they can also be worked with with a hand riveter. Due to their non-toxicity, they are widely used in the food and chemical industries, and because of their lightness they are used in aircraft construction. They are inferior in strength to steel ones, so their use is possible only in the absence of large loads on the structural elements.
Steel rivets are made from carbon steel, making them quite lightweight and very strong. Such products are protected from the effects of weather and water by galvanizing. To create especially durable fasteners, stainless steel products are used, which, in addition to being resistant to corrosion, also have an aesthetic appearance.

How to choose a riveter for threaded rivets?

In order not to make a mistake in choosing a riveter for threaded rivets, you must take into account its following features:

Weight The tool should fit comfortably in your hand without causing any discomfort.
Rivet diameter The model should cope with the task.
Power type The riveter can be powered by electricity, compressed air or battery power.
Riveter material To work with steel surfaces, it is necessary to use a more reliable tool, the design of which can withstand significant loads.
Head Type If the head can rotate 360 degrees, you can install the rivet even in hard-to-reach places.
Additional features For example, a built-in waste container will make work more comfortable.

Features of working with the tool

To quickly learn how to handle a riveter and easily perform reliable connections of elements, it is enough to learn a simple procedure for working with it:

The first step is to select rivets of the appropriate diameter. Most often, fasteners with a diameter of 2 to 4 mm are used. When working with large-diameter rivets, you will need a specialized tool, which is best suited to a pneumatic or pneumatic-hydraulic riveter.
A hole is drilled in the working surface taking into account the outer diameter of the rivet. When using fasteners with a countersunk head, it is often necessary to first countersink the surface, which makes the rivet invisible.
Before work, you should install a rod with a thread of the required diameter in the rivet gun and screw a threaded rivet onto it. It is important to ensure that the rivet is securely fastened, otherwise it may come loose during installation.
It is necessary to insert the fastener into the hole until it stops, making sure that its head is tightly adjacent to the surface of the material.
The riveter is positioned strictly at right angles to the surface and begins to exert force on the handle. During operation, the rod will begin to move inside the tool, providing the necessary pressure to deform the fastener.
After installing the rivet, you should unscrew the threaded rod from the socket and make sure that the rivet is seated in the hole correctly. This can be judged if there are no distortions and gaps, as well as thread deformation.

How to remove a rivet

Sometimes there are situations when the fastener was installed incorrectly or in the wrong place and needs to be removed. This can be done in several ways.

In the first case, you will need a drill with a drill slightly larger in diameter than the internal thread size. When installing the rivet, you need to monitor the process and promptly change the drill to a larger one. When the problem is solved, the fastener will be divided into two halves - the head and the inner part.

You can also remove incorrectly installed fasteners by grinding off the head. A drill will also help in solving this problem, and when the head is destroyed, all that remains is to knock the rivet out of the seat.

Installation nuances

Before installing the fastener, special attention should be paid to choosing its length. To correctly calculate this rivet parameter, you need to add the thickness of the material and the diameter of the rivet. For example, if the cross-section of the fastener is 4 mm and the thickness of the material is 2 mm, then to make a reliable connection it is recommended to use a rivet with a diameter of 6 mm. After installation, it will “sit” securely in the seat and will allow you to screw a bolt in if necessary.

It is no coincidence that the riveter is very popular, because it has such advantages as ease of use and practicality. Although home craftsmen very rarely share their impressions of the practical use of this tool in everyday conditions. In many construction stores, a riveter is a rarity, not to mention fasteners for it, which many are forced to order online.

This tool has only recently become popular among the population. Most often it is used to perform reliable installation of license plates. It is also perfect for installing fences made of sheet materials, as well as mounting electricity metering devices on thin walls of panels. This installation method has surpassed in popularity even such a common type of fastening as welding, due to its reliability. And this is not surprising, since even under conditions of high loads, if the rivets begin to fail, it will not happen to all of them at the same time.

Installation process

The algorithm for installing a threaded element can hardly be called overwhelming, but it is important to know certain nuances. If possible, it is better to use a factory riveter. If desired, you can assemble it yourself; one option will be discussed below. The first step is to determine the type of metal on which the rivet will be installed. Next, you need to know what the diameter of the bolt or module that will be fixed thanks to this rivet is. According to the specified diameter, the appropriate rivet is selected. Its outer diameter is measured and a drill is selected that will be one tenth in diameter larger than the rivet. This is necessary so that the latter fits into place without much effort or obstacles.

Electric or cordless drill. The metal is drilled in the required location. After this, the fastening element is inserted into the seat. If it needs to be placed in a certain position, then it is better to hold it with your hands. For hexagonal holes, you can use special punches if we are talking about thin metal. If the thickness of the metal is greater than the length of the fastener, then the hole must be drilled a little deeper than the fastener, but there is no need to make a through penetration. After this, a rivet maker core is selected that fits the thread to the element being installed. The handles are brought together or the bolt is rotated so that part of the rivet is deformed and fixed in the hole.

You should not apply too much force, as you can tear off the thread, which will later be used to fix the required part. It is necessary to ensure that the rivet is installed in the required position. After this, you can fix the required product using a screw or bolt.

Installing the Fastener

Installing a threaded rivet is practically no different from using conventional rivets. All work is carried out in several stages:

A hole of the required diameter is drilled in the workpiece.
The threaded rod of the rivet gun is screwed into the rivet and the rivet is inserted into the hole.
The threaded rod is pulled into the body of the rivet gun and the part of the rivet that does not have an internal thread is compressed, securely fixing the rivet in the hole.

If a large number of installation operations are to be performed, then to increase productivity, it is recommended to first make the required number of holes. And then start installing fasteners.

Principle of operation

The principle of operation of threaded rivets is that after installing such a locking element, a thread is created. A screw or bolt is then screwed into it.

Installation of threaded rivets is carried out very quickly and efficiently, but only when using a special tool. Such devices can be purchased at different prices.

If there is a need to use this type of fastener, then each master can easily choose the most suitable type of riveter for himself.

The video shows the working principle of a threaded rivet:

Summary

As you can see, each type of rivet plays its role and is necessary. If conventional ones can be replaced with exhaust ones, then threaded ones are unique in their class and make it possible to install additional equipment where it is difficult to use any other method of fixation. The diameter of the clamp is selected depending on the needs. Factory riveters for threaded elements are most often supplied in a plastic case for greater ease of storage. If there is a need to install components of large diameters, then a model with two handles is better suited.

DIY riveter

If the installation of threaded elements is required due to duty or work, then it makes sense to purchase a factory product that operates by hand force or based on a pneumatic mechanism. In most situations, the installation of such rivets is rarely required, so you can assemble the rivet gun yourself.

Bolt based

To assemble the entire structure, you will need a bolt similar to the one shown in the photo above. It can be taken from the crankshaft of a car engine. The diameter of the bolt must be such that a hole can be drilled inside it through which another bolt with a thread size that will match that used in the rivet will be inserted. The length of the second bolt must be at least 100 mm. The length of its thread should be as long as possible; if necessary, it can be additionally trimmed with a parallel tool.

Additionally, you will need a nut that will screw freely onto the thread of a bolt with a large diameter, as well as a collapsible bearing. The inner diameter of the bearing must be such that a long bolt, which will be used for clamping, can freely pass through it. The design is quite simple to assemble. To do this, you need to insert a long bolt inside a larger one in diameter. A nut is screwed onto the large bolt, and a collapsible bearing is placed onto the threads of the long bolt.

A rivet is screwed onto the long bolt and must be installed in the hole. You will need two keys to operate. One of them will hold the nut, and the second should rotate the bolt. You can simplify the task by welding a handle to the nut. The bolt rotates until the stop becomes significant. You shouldn't be too zealous. Once the result is achieved, you need to unscrew the long bolt. The bearing in this case is a stabilizer that prevents the bolt from biting inside the structure. There is a video about this riveter below.

Note! The disadvantage of this design is the need for several bolts for rivets with different threads.
