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 ...
Rivet diameters are commonly measured in 1 ⁄ 32-inch increments [18] and their lengths in 1 ⁄ 16-inch increments, expressed as "dash numbers" at the end of the rivet identification number. A "dash 3 dash 4" (XXXXXX-3-4) designation indicates a 3 ⁄ 32-inch diameter and 4 ⁄ 16-inch (or 1 ⁄ 4-inch) length.
A standard hammer drill accepts 6 mm (1/4 inch) and 13 mm (1/2 inch) drill bits. The operator experiences considerable vibration, and the cams are generally made from hardened steel to avoid them wearing out quickly. In practice, drills are restricted to standard masonry bits up to 13 mm (1/2 inch) in diameter.
A rotary hammer, also called rotary hammer drill [1] is a power tool that can perform heavy-duty tasks such as drilling and chiseling hard materials. [2] It is similar to a hammer drill in that it also pounds the drill bit in and out while it is spinning. However, rotary hammers use a piston mechanism instead of a special clutch.

Powder-actuated technology was developed for commercial use during the Second World War, when high-velocity fastening systems were used to temporarily repair damage to ships. In the case of hull breaches, these tools fastened steel plates over damaged areas. [3] These tools were developed by Mine Safety Appliances, for the United States Navy. [4]
A 1/2" drive pistol-grip air impact wrench. An impact wrench (also known as an impactor, impact gun, air wrench, air gun, rattle gun, torque gun, windy gun) is a socket wrench power tool designed to deliver high torque output with minimal exertion by the user, by storing energy in a rotating mass, then delivering it suddenly to the output shaft.
Within the automotive/heavy electric industries, it is known as a "flat head screwdriver"; [8] within the avionics and mining industries, it is known as a "standard screwdriver". [9] Though there are many names; the original device from 1908 was known as a "flat-head screw turner".
