A rivet gun, also known as a rivet hammer or a pneumatic hammer, [1] is a type of tool used to drive rivets. The rivet gun is used on rivet's factory head (the head present before riveting takes place), and a bucking bar is used to support the tail of the rivet. The energy from the hammer in the rivet gun drives the work and the rivet against ...
The downward force required to deform the rivet with an automatic riveting machine is created by a motor and flywheel combination, pneumatic cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder. Manual feed riveting machines usually have a mechanical lever to deliver the setting force from a foot pedal or hand lever.
By World War II, rivet guns were used widely in U.S. aircraft factories both for riveting aluminum sheets, and for flow forming, the process of working aluminum sheet into and over wooden forms by the application of the pneumatic rivet gun. Post-war industry brought many new applications for the "air hammer" technology. Among these were:
Jackhammer, a pneumatic or electro-mechanical tool that combines a hammer directly with a chisel; Nail gun, a form of hammer used to drive nails into wood or other materials; Pneumatic hammer (forging), a pneumatically driven forging hammer; Rivet gun, an air-power hammer that uses pneumatics to drive the hammer
On cooling, the rivet contracted axially exerting the clamping force on the joint. [1] Before the use of pneumatic hammers, e.g. in the construction of RMS Titanic, the person who hammered the rivet was known as the "basher". The last commonly used high-strength structural steel rivets were designated ASTM A502 Grade 1 rivets. [2]

17. The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) ... Live and Let Die only hints at the cheeky air that Moore would bring to the role. Instead, we get him tangling with Yaphet Kotto’s heroin-pushing heavy ...
A pneumatic jackhammer Video: A construction worker uses a jackhammer in Japan. A jackhammer (pneumatic drill or demolition hammer in British English) is a pneumatic or electro-mechanical tool that combines a hammer directly with a chisel. It was invented by William McReavy, who then sold the patent to Charles Brady King. [1]
