Tips

To extend the life of your riveter, periodically clean the jaws and lubricate moving parts with light machine oil. Always select the correct nosepiece for the rivet diameter to prevent jamming and ensure a clean set. When working overhead or in tight spaces, rotate the head to the most comfortable angle before starting to reduce fatigue.
