Review on YaeTek Riveter Threaded Riveting Assortment by William Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works like a champ.

I needed this kit to rivet some grommets onto my bike frame to carry a third bottle cage. The tool is quite easy to use, even if the instructions are a bit vague for beginners. As with all projects, measure twice, cut or rivet once. for your project. It's best to reduce the size of the hole and use a stepper to ensure the rivet is snug against the nut in the hole. Do not screw the rivet nut too far into the die, but not so far that the tool does not bottom out and get a good crimp. I screwed the nut onto the die far enough to leave a gap between the lip of the nut and the base of the die, the thickness of the material you're putting the rivet nut in.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
