CHESTON hand riveter is a manually operated tool used to install blind rivets. This tool group includes tools that are hand-operated and hand-powered and those that are hand-operated and pneumatically powered. Both types are used to install blind rivets and both function in the same way. The tools expand and lock a hollow rivet by pulling a mandrel through the rivet body. The mandrel is then broken off and discarded, leaving the expanded rivet to secure the workpieces. Hand riveter tools are generally designed for use with blind rivets only and work by pulling the rivet mandrel through the rivet body to expand and secure it.
