May I ask, what brand/model of rivet gun is that?
-
I see, thanks, you got to love what these rivets can do, what a great invention, i thought i've been around, but i dont even know when these were invented.
-
@Myslot2 Both refer to the same thing but blind riveting is the proper term since Pop rivet is a brand name... kinda like Kleenex / tissue paper or Xerox / copy...
-
Is it possible to rivet two pieces of paper card together?
-
Whats the difference between blind rivets and pop rivets?
-
Well done!
(Technically, shouldn't that be "blind riveting" instead of pop?)

The rivet gun is a Central Pneumatic #93458 that I bought from Harbor Freight. I see they are 45 dollars now but often go on sale. I paid 20 each for two of them so I did not have to change tips when I switch between two sizes of rivets. For the Zenith aircraft that I am building I had to have the tips of the gun machined to get the rounded top of the rivet. But you would not have to if the rounded top was not needed. I use between 40-60 lbs of air pressure.
