Buy Rivet Tools Online in Australia
Rivet tools are the guns and tools that set rivets and rivet nuts, not the fasteners themselves. AIMS Industrial lists 19 of them from Champion, Trax, TTL and Metabo: hand rivet guns, blind nut (rivet nut) tools, a combination tool, riveter adaptors and spares, and two cordless guns. If you want the fasteners, see our rivets and rivet nuts. For help choosing a tool, read our rivet gun guide.

Choosing a rivet tool
First decide what you are setting. A blind rivet (pop rivet) gun pulls a mandrel through the rivet. A rivet nut tool threads onto the nut and pulls it up to form a threaded insert in thin material. They are different jobs, so pick the tool to match the fastener. The Trax ARX-S905 and the Champion adaptors cover both if you need to switch between them.
Next, match the tool to the rivet size or thread. Check the listing for the rivet diameters or thread sizes each tool is made for, for example M3 to M6 on the Trax ARX-HRN2 and HRN2K, or M10 on the Metabo NMP 18 LTX BL. For volume work, the cordless Metabo guns remove the hand effort, and compressor-driven guns are in our air riveter tools.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm the rivet or thread range, nosepieces or mandrels supplied, and what is included with each tool before you order.

Rivet Tool FAQs
What is the difference between a rivet gun and a rivet nut tool?
A rivet gun sets a blind (pop) rivet by pulling its mandrel. A rivet nut tool threads into a rivet nut and pulls it up to form a threaded insert in thin material. Use the tool that matches the fastener.
Can one tool set both pop rivets and rivet nuts?
The Trax ARX-S905 is listed as a 3/16 inch hand riveter and M6 blind nut tool in one swivel head body. The Champion CRA-PR and CRA-NR adaptors are listed for pop rivet and nut rivet use. Check the listing for compatibility.
What thread sizes do the rivet nut tools cover?
The Trax ARX-HRN2 and HRN2K are listed for M3 to M6 rivet nuts, and the Metabo NMP 18 LTX BL is listed as an M10 rivet nut gun. Check each listing for the full range.
Do you stock cordless rivet tools?
Yes. We list two Metabo 18V cordless tools, a brushless blind rivet gun and the NMP 18 LTX BL rivet nut gun. Both are listed as tool only, so check what is supplied. Compressor-driven guns are in our air riveter tools range.
What is a long arm rivet gun?
The Champion CBRG-2 is listed as a long arm blind rivet gun, as against the CBRG-1 at 200mm. Check the listings for the rivet sizes each one is made for.
Do you sell the rivets and rivet nuts as well?
Yes. See our rivets, rivet nuts and rivet assortment kits collections.
