Spot on! Have never used rivets. I picked you video first because the time was right. You nailed it. Only the information a beginner like me need and a pro type at the end. I wish all DIY videos were like yours. Only what we need to get back to the project and no more. Drive on buddy. You're on the right path.

Bought some Otter brand rivets from Bunnings and it states "4.8mm Dia. 6.4mm Grip" which I am assuming is 4.8mm diameter and max material of 6.4mm. I wish they would state the grip range as I suspect I have bought too long a rivet to join 2 x 1.2mm pieces of aluminium.

Fantastic. I'm riveting two pieces of aluminum (one 32" long) to a bracket to attach to a wall with nylon strapping between the two pieces. This will for the nylon strapping to go around a locking lid trash container from being pulled down by a large German Shepherd, determined to get into the garbage can when I leave. Now with a lid she cannot unlock and a trash can she cannot pull over, she is, HOPEFULLY, going to fail. I was going to screw everything together but thought I would try a pop rivet. Now I know what size pop rivet to purchase.

This was super helpful. I got into a fender bender 1.5 yr ago. Bent the front support bar (among other things). I was unable to pull the bar out to straighten in. I've since replaced hood& side fender. But because that's still bent I've gone through FOUR hood latches. I've ordered a new support bar& I've been brainstorming the best way to put the new one on. This is the method I've decided on. The old piece is tach welded so some grinding will be needed. But she'll look brand new.... Well sorta. It's a 1998 Subaru Forester.

I'm planning to build a folding tonneau cover for a pickup truck because I need T-slot rails to support a ladder rack. The commercial tonneaus either will not fit between the T-slots OR require fragile aluminum extrusions on each side that block bed access. I expect to use blind rivets to attach aluminum ("diamond" pattern) tread plate to a frame made of rectangular tubing. It would be nice if I could get reasonable resistance to water leakage thru each rivet without having to spend extra to get sealed blind rivets. Can I get by with squirting some caulk into the hole of each rivet after setting? Should I consider a dab around each hole before installing the rivet? As great as rivets are, I like rivet nuts even better!

Thanks for al the tips: MY project is to replace a steel spring clip on a camera back. The back when closed in the final 2-3 mm should slide the clip up over the peg. IT should make a slightly audible click when closed. Why do I have to replace it.. well.. I wasn't broke, but I decided to fixit. Noting that it failed to "slide over peg without coercion, I decide to bend it a bit to facilitate sliding over the peg. The bending broke the clip. The camera can still be closed (with coercion) and securing the back with a rubber band.. just in case. I bought a camera for parts. Originally I was going to swap out the back (held by three screws) when I received the donor camera a lesser model, the pressure plate was a very cheap substitute compared to the plate in MY camera. So now I think the best plan is to drill out the rivets that hold the clip on both cameras and rivet the unbroken clip into the the better camera. I've done some riveting in the past. Much Large ..clipping the door panel trimming to the car door. Here I want the I guess the blind rivet with a button on the back and the flat side on the interior. I can provide pics if you must know ;)

Recently bought a 2004 Toyota highlander V6 but its wrecked in the front by support assembly it's a project car and runs and shifts well with 150,653 miles on it but like I said the front radiator support assembly is wrecked and the radiator wont fit properly, So I went to a junk yard and managed to get a good used one for 75$, Unfortunately I live in the country side of Colorado and i dont have a welding gun that welds aluminum to metal so the rivets might be the next best thing to secure the assembly properly once I manage to level it correctly, I've worked with rivets many times putting steel on steel with my farm house once that's done I will be able to put the front bumper and grill and the car will look good as new.

Plumber for thirty years and a few more tips you didn’t mention 1: dip the rivet in silicon before putting in hole if it’s in a box gutter or sump 2: use a magnet in a plastic bag to pick up fillings before you rivet 3: if you spin the shaft of the rivet around you can get the look of a rivet bit the use of a nail to pin flashings to weatherboards or fascia

hey Smart Assist, to gauge size I normally test with a few rivets or you can use your drill bits to get the perfect sizing. steel rivets will will harder to squeeze but at that small size its a negligible difference. follow that rule to determine length (at the end of the video) if you go too short the rivet won't flare enough material to hold it snug. best of luck mate, Kent

my rivet isn't breaking. do you think the riveter is the problem?

Hey Taz, yeah.. It’s normally the jaws on the riveter that wear out or are bad quality that makes that happen. Frustrating hey! Best of luck mate 🤙 Kent

when should a washer be used???????????????????????????????????????????????
@InspireDIY
@InspireDIY 9 ай бұрын
Hey Earl, if I am understanding the question right ..use a washer with an internal diameter ‘ID’ close to that of the rivet body, this will create a wider footprint spreading the load which is sometimes needed on materials like plastics, if the rivet is long enough you can use a washer on both sides👌 good on you mate, Kent

should have included on how to fix a stuck pin in the gun. some cheaper rivet guns tend to do that from time to time
@InspireDIY
@InspireDIY Жыл бұрын
Hey Alien, yeah that's a good point, a cheap gun does it, so does a quality gun eventually when the jaws wear out. here's the tip,, open the handles right up, poke a rivet stem into the hole in an attempt to push the stuck stem out the back of the gun. Kent

basic info but well delivered all except for the maths fail. 3.2+1.5 doesn't equal 4.8 😉I'm currently fixing a new bottom to an old wheelbarrow cause I would rather pay $6.50 for 100 pops than $63 for a new tub when it is a three week wait. 'A man's got work to do.
