A detailed buying guide: how to choose a hand rivet gun.
Hand rivet guns join sheet metal, profiles, aluminium and plastic from one side, without access to the back. They are used in roofing, ventilation, automotive, signage and furniture work. This section includes rivet guns for blind rivets and rivet nuts, as well as lever and two-handed models. General guide to fastening tools: how to choose manual fastening tools: staplers, riveters and applicator guns.
A blind rivet gun joins thin sheets, while a rivet nut tool creates a thread in the sheet for a bolt. Universal models handle both types.
Check the rivet diameters, usually 2.4-6.4 mm for blind rivets and M3-M10 for rivet nuts, and whether the right nosepieces are included.
A short one-handed rivet gun suits 3-4 mm aluminium rivets, while a long-handled two-handed or lever model sets 5-6.4 mm steel and stainless rivets with little effort.
A cast steel or aluminium body does not flex under load, and hardened jaws grip the rivet mandrel firmly. Read hand tool materials, hardness, coatings and ergonomics.
