Thank you, from Tasmania. It took a gentleman on the opposite side of the planet to teach me how to use a rivet gun. Just fixed our aluminium back door for a fraction of the price of a repair man and very happy with the results. Again, thank you.

[@droy9554]

Thanks for this video . It helped me a lot to fix my restaurant chairs. I wasn't familiar with this gun. But know I know how to use it.

[@MyWagga]

You are very welcome. It's interesting what people do with their rivet guns. This will have saved you some money I guess. Are they the aluminum ones.

[@ScottLilien]

Thank you for your video. I started a new job after 15 years with my former employer. I am taking a chance with this company by foolishly leaving public sector. I was tasked to put together a portable mounted demo alarm monitoring rack mountable equipment kit. Your video helped me put together the kit correctly by showing me how to use rivets to secure the each parallel metal rack to each side of the plastic enclosure. Your video helped put food on my daughter's plate and I am grateful. As they say in Hebrew, you did a Mitzvah! Thank you. I subscribed to your channel.

[@IPeeOrange]

Only one word I can think of for the rivet gun............Brilliant!

[@jaytv8369]

Thank you for the Rivet Gun Tutorial video. You showed how easy it is to use the tool and how to get the job done quickly. You are a wealth of knowledge and a job saver.

[@AxelayMK3]

Extremely helpful for a novice such as me! Thanks much. Just bought my own rivet gun after watching this.

[@RegenTanzer1]

I viewed 2 or 3 other 'how to' video's about using a riveting tool....and found this particular video the best of them all. The camera was 'on target' (not moving & shaking all over the place and the explanation given by the guy demonstrating using the tool was clear (even for somebody--like me--who's never used a riveting tool before.

[@amysitaa]

first diy rivet video that ive found that has a good/clear explanation!! im learning how to rivet to to teach ppl how to build "liters of light" in senegal! many ppl will be grateful for the extra savings from a lower elec. bill and be able to provide more food to their fams! thanks!

[@snocamo154]

Excellent video. Having to pop rivet the rod holders into my kayak and now I know how.

[@ernielara1553]

Very well done, you will make a goodshop teacher!

[@MyWagga]

Thanks Ernie. Its an old video but still doing well for my channel.

[@nicholasshaw7672]

So helpful mate, as have forgotten how to use. Need it for my motorcycle mud guard extender fitment

[@joerosales8755]

It doesn't look complicated now that I learned from watching this video 😅 thank you.

[@SirSmighty]

very very very! helpful video i am repacking a exhaust on a atv and i have never used a rivet gun but im 110% sure i can now after watching this. Thanks for the helpful info!

[@AndrewFearn42]

Thanks for the informative and detailed video explaining the function and use of rivets vs tapping screws and specifically the use of a rivet gun. Most rivet guns I've seen are a comparable style, but due to lack of knowledge on the matter, I've opted for screws. Thanks to your vid, this will be changing.

[@CheckEmGG]

I was about to buy and learn how to TIG weld for an aluminum aquarium light i'm making then i remember my dad has a rivet gun. Thanks, you just saved me a lot of time and cash!

[@notasoutherngirl]

that was bloody brilliant. And you gave a two-fer - one for the rivit gun and one for remining me that i needed to fix a wobbly stock pot handle. YOUR the best. thank you.

[@MyWagga]

Hi John, sometimes they get stuck. All I do is to squeeze the riveter handles together and put a new rivet in. This will often push the old one out the back. As I havn't taken one apart before, I can't help you with that. Just get a better one or keep trying to figure it out how to put it back together. A drop of oil will often help to keep these tools functioning better.

[@matspenc]

Thanks for your advice - the leather repair worked a treat!

[@WarpedBrushes]

this is really good! i was wondering how a rivet gun worked and now i know! nothing to be afraid of doing :)

[@dsr2k]

Thank you so much for this video! Had no clue how to use it, but now I know!

[@MyWagga]

Really happy you liked it

[@mandifmassey]

Thank you for making this video. I just bought a gun to rivet my handbag straps onto the handbag but I didn't know how to use it. I knew I was going to look on KZbin for a demonstration. You're the first video I found and it's exactly what I needed.

[@pavarglez]

Veeeeeeery well explained Christopher!! I am fixing my window motor in my car and at first I was complaining (and swearing, to be honest) because I saw only rivets under the door panel instead of regular nuts. After watching your video, I am ready to remove them all, buy my rivet gun and install my new window motor. thank you Christopher..

[@AlexMotan1]

Great onest clear video. Now the "mistery" of how to join two pipes was finally revealed :)) From a Romanian living in Dublin - you have my thanks!!!

[@AnnoyingNewsletters]

Thank you for the great demonstration. I'm just waiting for it to warm up just a bit more to tackle an outdoor rivet project that I didn't get round to before winter hit.

[@Ojeramup12]

Thanks for the video! I'm considering buying one for odds and ends.

[@rickh1106]

Thanks Christopher, I wish I had the knowledge of rivets like these applicationsyears ago, I always used screws of some variety to fix and repair items aroundthe house,Have purchased a rivet gun and watched videos on their use.Never knew there were so many kinds of rivets and different uses for them.Who would have ever thought to use rivets in so many ways.Thank you very much for your input and your teaching videos.Rick from Canada.

[@TheFarkKnight]

Thank you for your wisdom, good sir! I got a rivet gun for free from a company give away, so I had no instructions! Thanks again!

[@johnbayne6180]

Thank you for showing me how to use my new tool. Building a ham radio antenna.

[@MyWagga]

Nice project. I was into radio in the Royal Navy. I learned morse code and all that old school stuff.

[@CopperSpriteCosplay]

Good sir, I had no knowledge of riveters prior to this video , only knowing that for my job I needed one to secure particular items. Originally I thought I needed an expensive gun, not knowing a gun of such a low price would be what I truly needed. While a more expensive one might be purchased at a later date once experience has surpassed (or the job requires a larger one), this one you have linked looks to be fantastic. Thank you kindly so much!

[@alphamale4292]

Thank you for sharing this simple and informative rivet tutorial.

[@MyWagga]

***** Thanks, you are welcome.

[@acolvill1]

Before this video I thought a rivet gun was an expensive, dangerous power tool that would be impractical or impossible for home use. They look so clean and professional that I never considered the possibility that I could do them myself--and I'm an avid DIYer! Thanks to this well thought, clearly shot video, I now know exactly what I've been missing, and how easy it really is. I'll be ordering one momentarily, and expect it to become indispensable in my projects. Thanks so much!

[@michaellangin7125]

Hi ķkllll

[@novaguy509]

Great demonstration. Thank you.

[@MarkTheMorose]

I have a rivet gun, never knew how it was supposed to work, so thanks for the clear practical explanation.

[@Coasterr200145]

I am working on making copper candle lanterns and plan on trying rivets on one of them and you video sorted out what I needed to know. Thanks!

[@electriciandallastx9182]

Thanks for the thoughts you have contributed here.

[@xdoctorbeatx]

Great instructional video, thanks! For the guy who decided to pick up on his accent, he is simply speaking correctly for someone with a non-rhotic accent. Since Received Pronunciation is considered to be the 'standard' English accent, one could in fact argue that his version is more correct. Rhotic pronunciation does exist in Britain, but mostly in regional accents. I'm English and I speak with a non-rhotic accent too. My American wife understands me perfectly, just as I understand her despi

[@MyWagga]

I'm so glad I could help you. It will save you money I expect and it's nice to know that you can look around to repair other things.

[@SJChip]

I wish I saw this before the last time I went to the hardware store! I looked at one of these but no idea how it would work. I'm going back tomorrow, thanks to you!

[@caseychima2418]

been trying to learn this for a long long time,thanks for the video

[@JohnDoe-wd4ij]

thanks, i cant believe I never got into using rivets before, seriously handy piece of equipment. Excellent video, just bought mine and happens to be a similar model, much appreciated.

[@MyWagga]

Hi Brian, I was exactly the same. I wish I bought one a long time ago.

[@getwithrene]

Sir, I want to thank you for your time for demonstrating the use/operating the rivet gun. In recent years I discovered if I need to know something utube it. I have purchased a windshield outside visor for my 63 vw bug it is aluminum with mesh and they recommend to use a rivet to install it. Thank you for taking the time to show the viewers how to operate one. Many thanks Rene

[@MyWagga]

Hi Rene, glad you liked the video. Seems like it's going to be an ideal tool for fixing the 63 bug. Hope it goes well.

[@grbroussard]

Thanks for posting! I never used a rivit gun before and I'm going to use it for the first time.

[@jaystovall6482]

Thanks for the very detailed video. I now feel confident, in doing the job, I need to do.

[@amackey313]

thank you mate, all the way from Alaska I'll be doing this tomorrow, thanks again

[@eurosceptic1]

Really good, I was watching a video about kit car building and saw all these thin pieces of metal sticking out of the body work. They said they were going to rivet them and I didn't know what they were doing. They had clearly dropped the rivet into the body rather than trying to hold it in the gun. Good video, I would now feel confident about riveting thanks to this. I love you tube :)

[@kevinsoeharli7694]

Thanks for the good vid! Needed to know how to use a rivet gun and your video explains it very clearly!

[@MyWagga]

Kevin Soeharli You are very welcome.

[@HardSoundGuy]

Thanks for the video. Took your suggestion and got the same rivet gun you used.

[@StephenDeadToLife]

hey dude, after seing your video i went out and bought a rivet gunm, got it the other day, cheers dude. stephen

[@opinion8eddyke]

Just what I needed to know. How have I survived this long without one. I'm going to be riveting everything !

[@MyWagga]

Way to go Nicky, that's what I like to hear :)

[@PK_Diaspora]

Excellent video! I never used a rivet gun before. Now after watching your video, I think I can put a rivet to a downspout gutter. Thank you for an excellent video.

[@MyWagga]

Thanks!

[@JasonDunlop247]

Very helpful . I want a rivet gun for similar purposes, window cleaning in particular. I need to attach new rivets to an Aqua Dapter. Thanks, very instructive

[@StephenDeadToLife]

cheers for this video.. i had no idea how to use one of these, but im looking to build a flight case for my amplifier.. thanks to this.. i know how to rivet now :-).. really well made vid. Spike.

[@nalam9454]

Thank you for the video. It was very helpful. Now I can put handles on my kayak.

[@malyndho]

Thank you so much...now I can buy my very own rivet gun.

[@treeplus8932]

Best video ever short and to the point.

[@MyWagga]

Hi and thank you for your comment. It's totally brilliant that you were able to fix that door. Hope you wern't affected too much by all the fires you had recently. Chris

[@BermudaMichael]

Thank you, really well explained. Now I can repair our louvre windows (in Bermuda).

[@thedrunkalchemist5442]

Awesome sauce, thanks for showing how to remove a rivet.

[@MyWagga]

Mariano, thankyou

[@dbflexer7320]

Great information Chris. Believe it or not, I found this tool to be a bit intimidating so I never purchased one till today from Amazon. Found a nice one at a nice price. Thanks to your video I'm confident that I'll have no problems using the rivet gun. Can't wait to receive it and start making my repairs. Thanks for the video.

[@MyWagga]

Cheers Flex, that's great news. I'm so glad that you are getting one and it will surprise you how easy it is to use after all. It's the same thing that happened to me.

[@Psolian]

Thanks, very clear video, got my DIY done thanks to you.

[@MyWagga]

Hi Cem, though I'm not an expert at this, as far as I can tell, you need a bucking bar, a bar with a small depression in it which will help form a solid rivet when access is available to both sides of the work, to enable the process to be successful. For blind rivets which are different, you don't need one. The tool I recommend does the whole process. Unless you are building an aircraft, you won't need one.

[@MyWagga]

Good news, I'm glad you are sorted out and have fun using your new rivet gun.

[@drivingschool11]

Thanks mate , You helped me quite a lot! God bless you!

[@MyWagga]

Glad I could help. There are so many uses for the Rivet Gun.

[@MyWagga]

It's nice to have helped you out and it's much better than throwing out a perfectly good handbag!

[@onavianva]

didn't care about video quality. But you nailed it. Thanks for the video! Getting mine tomorrow from Harbor Freight.

[@MyWagga]

Hi Omar, great to know your getting a rivet gun from Harbor Freight. They seem like a good company to go for.

[@bolkie888]

thanks for a helpful guide sir. i just bought an aftermarket pedals on my car and there's a rivets included. at first i was confused how to do it. until i saw this DIY video. I just need to drill the pedals to allow the rivets to pop it on. thanks

[@albertoorense4030]

Now I know how to use the rivet gun! Thanks you very much for a nice informative video!

[@MyWagga]

You are very welcome Alberto.

[@videoarchiveman]

excellent demonstration. always wondered how to use one. now I can better explain it to my customers at work. Thanks.

[@wow23birds]

Thanks for sharing, always nice to see how it's done. M in Missouri

[@mjremy2605]

Thanks Chris! Very good demo. I did not realize there was a length option as well as width. Good safety tip too. Very much appreciated!!

[@MyWagga]

Cheers!

[@dukedvl]

[@MyWagga]

Jeff Byrd Thanks I appreciate that

[@danescott2212]

As you say in your video, "brilliant!" Good job, Christopher and thanks...always wanted to know how to use rivets.

[@theb-800a.mlocalradio2]

Brilliant in deed. Thanks from the folks at the b800.

[@MyWagga]

Cheers!

[@ctb619]

Excellent demonstration.

[@f14tomcataocretired95]

Ya, I am a little late watching your video's. Super demonstrations. BIG THANKS!

[@4444colin]

Funny thing I looked at the rivet shanks being long and went off to the hardware store looking for smaller rivets. Realise now the shanks are disposable bullets and the end piece is the actual rivet. Always was non plussed by riveted product's. Now with a rivet gun projects like gutters and Windows are easy.👌

[@fabmkk]

This is a really useful information, thank you sir!

[@squinja7000]

Great demo. I definitely need to purchase one for various metalwork hobbies :)

[@whiskeysausage]

Excellent video. Thanks for making it so easy to understand both in terms of verbal explanation and physical demonstration.

Thanks for commenting Cesar.

Thank you for your video. I've just purchased a rivet gun similar to yours. Indeed, a very useful tool.

Excellent video! I had no clue how to use a rivet gone and now I feel comfortable going out and buying one! Thank you for posting this video!

[@rhadiem]

Great video, clicked the link and plan on picking one up. Job done.

[@MyWagga]

Hi Shaun, the rivets can look a bit untidy but this is the way they end up. Mostly these rivet guns are useful for when you don't see the rivet but it will still work for what you want.

[@TheAirving]

Hi there Chris...That was an informative video...How to use a rivet, and this is exactly what I am searching for...Brilliant tutorial, well comprehensible Chris. Thank you so much. God bless! Keep it up.

Thank you Mr Dawber. Found it to be an interesting and useful video.

That's great. A few people like the Workmate Bench. A friend of mine gave it to me years ago. It's one of the best tools I got.

[@1533ramsay]

I am doing a big job tomorrow that will require us to rivet a very large retractable awing together. This was a great how to vid. Thanks for your time in show us how the gun works. Mark

[@MyWagga]

You know, it's great to have been a help to you along with dozens of others. When I made this video, I had no idea that I could help so many out.

[@1533ramsay]

I am so thankful to KZbin for helping me learn new things. I hate reading a manual and learn better by seeing. Thanks Again, Mark

[@XhanaLabs]

Always wondered how the heck rivets worked. Thanks!

[@Towert7]

Answered all my questions in this video. Thanks a bunch!

[@MyWagga]

Thats great!

[@Rustystone27]

Shank you very much :-D Excellent vid - both instructions and camerawork were fantastic!

[@77loka]

cool video. I just got back home from a hardware store and I saw a rivet gun there, I couldn't help and wonder how it works and for what applications. I had a general idea, but just wasn't 100% sure. The funny thing is, I was searching entirely different diy subject. Don't mind the haters, I am from Israel, I speak Russian & Hebrew as my first language and English as my second. I understand you just fine.

[@MARKRICK32]

Hi MyWagga,thank you for this great video,i had no idea how to use rivet.
