Nozzles Are Securely Screwed On The Body And Are Changed Out Using A Mini Spanner .. The lazy-tong type of hand riveter is the second manually activated riveter type and works on a trellis-style lever system. The tong arrangement is extended fully to open the jaws and position the rivet mandrel. The tong lever is then pushed toward the riveter head, closing the jaws to grip and retract the mandrel. Due to its longer range of leverage, this type of tool typically only requires a single cycle to set the rivet and break off the mandrel. The third common manual riveter is the lever type, which resembles a pair of shrub trimmers. The two long handles, or levers, are opened to insert the rivet mandrel into the jaws and closed again to secure and retract it. Due to the wide range of motion of which the handles are capable, this type of tool also only needs a single cycle to set the rivet. Both the lever and lazy-tong types of hand riveter are often used for heavier steel rivets due to their increased mechanical advantage. Although not as commonly used as manual riveters, pneumatic tools are often used in industries wherein high riveting volumes and speeds are required. These tools are operated by hand but rely on a supply of compressed air to retract the jaw mechanism and set the rivets. These tools can be used with the heaviest of blind rivets and allow the operator to complete far more riveting cycles in any given time than manual varieties. Additional refinements found on pneumatic hand riveters include rivet cassettes and mandrel catchers, which further speed up production.
