From Spear & Jackson, this lazy tong rivet tool is an ideal solution for heavy-duty fastening applications. With a single stroke compression action, the lazy tong riveter can quick and easily insert rivets into the workpiece. The pop riveter works by simply placing the rivet in the gun, inserting into a pre-drilled hole, and then pushing in the handle until the rivet expands and the stem or pin of the rivet breaks away. It is a quick and efficient way of joining materials together securely.

• Ideal for hard to reach areas
• Intensive use due to low-effort design
• It does not result in hand fatigue as quickly as a standard riveter
• Requires only a single stroke to secure a rivet

Also known as a rivet gun, this riveter drives a rivet into a suitable mounting in order to fasten two workpieces together. This particularly riveter is known as a lazy tong rivet gun, and they are typically used as a permanent way to join thin metal or plastic sheets. Hand riveters are an ideal tool for;

• Mechanics
• Engineers
• Maintenance technicians

As the lazy tong riveter relies on a single action to operate, it can reduce hand fatigue when compared to a plier style rivet gun. It is also more useful for riveting in hard to reach places. However, as the lazy tong riveters require more space to operate correctly, it is not as suitable for applications in more space-limiting environments.
