A hand tool, designed specifically for placing Avex break-stem rivets, has been introduced by Avdel Ltd. Known as the Type 759 riveting tool, it is ideal for low-volume site fabrication of sheet materials in a wide variety of industry including light engineering and motor trades.
The tool is supplied with interchangeable nose tips for Placing or bin. Avex rivets. After fitting the appropriate nose tip, the handles of the riveting tool are opened fully and the stem of the rivet inserted until the head rests on the nose tip. The tail of the rivet is then placed in the pre-formed hole in the workpiece and the handles of the tool squeezed together for a full stroke. This draws the tail of the rivet back towards the head, causing the former to expand and thus provide a positive and weatherproof fastening. The stem then breaks from the rivet head automatically and drops away through the back of the tool.
The weight of the tool is 11b. It is supplied with a one-year guarantee.
