can you rivet with this tool?

It is possible, but very difficult. The tool is not made for it. You'll destroy some of the metal of the tool when doing it.Best thing is to use a wooden board, put the chain on top, and use a hammer.

No, as is it is not designed for riveting - not that something couldn't be "Macgyvered". There are no instructions with the tool for riveting only pin removal. Whereas, the RK has instructions and parts for pin extraction as well as riveting.

My lacing broke and the replacement was better than the original. I'm not sure what you can do when the rivets pulled out, sorry. Maybe you can contact the manufacturer and get advice.

YES!!! yes but I would suggest you have someone else do it for you using tweezers, if you are not a pro at it yet.

It gets it's air from an air compressor by way of an air hose, so yes, a compressor is needed. Rivets are measured by the diameter and length of the shank which it uses to spread the housing which holds the pieces of metal together.

My guess would be yes. The end is not stiched, it is secured by two rivets, they have the 5.11 insignia on the outside and what looks like a flat head screw head on the inside. It appears you can use a screwdriver to loosen those, but you may need some locktight to refasten them just because the thread length is minimal.

You can use rivets, but I used screw posts (also called sex bolts or binding posts) and screwed from the inside out. Put some locktite on the threads.

YES - However tool is not easy to use - you can cut and waste a lot of cable if not careful - I use it to score the outer jacket only - I tried both # 5 & 6 cable - hope this helps - I cannot overstress the "be careful" part - you may have limited cable to work with

Yes, an air compressor is required, and it should be capable of supplying 90-120 lbs. of air continuously. Rivets are measured by two parameters. One is the diameter of the rivet body, which is the part which goes through the material to be riveted. The second is what is called the "grip range." This denotes the minimum and maximum thickness the rivet is intended to be used with. Thus a 1/8 X 5/16 rivet has a 1/8" diameter rivet body and is intended for material 5/16" thick. Not that the grip range is NOT the same as the length of the rivet body; the rivet body must be long enough to go through the material and form a bulge on the back side of the material to hold it together.

If you drilled out the rivets that hold it on, yes. If n it, no. It doesn't seem like it would be hard to drill out the rivets. I love everything about the ironing board except the iron holder. It cradles the iron rather than is a stand area for it. It feels awkward. Otherwise it is rad. My hubby is a VERY large man-shirts are huge, this board is wide enough that the shirt doesn't touch the ground while I'm ironing it. It's sturdy and seems like it will last for years.

I'd say so. I too a hammer and tapped through my collar onto another hard surface to spread the rivets. My dog Munson still has his on. Bore a hole in the leather about an 1/8" on each side. This will support the rivet and the expansion of the rivet prongs.

It will work but for that purpose you are better off buying a cheaper model. This model is a high quality constant use tool. If you are only going to use it for a rivet or two, buy a cheaper model. This is a very good tool though.

no it can't. well some parts would. it works best with a rotary tool anyone would do because of the speed they move at. dremel, chicago, etc are just some brands of rotary tool

A rivet is simply a way to weld surfaces to one another, obviously without actually having to weld the two surfaces. In order to rivet two surfaces a pilot hole must exist in both surfaces for the rivet to be inserted and eventually pinch the said surfaces together. So yes, you need to drill holes or have preexisting holes in order to use a rivet on any application. This particular gun comes with 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", and 3/16" rivets and head attachments, so you can use a hole that is one of those sizes or drill a hole that is one of those sizes. If you need more assistance with Rivet related questions, a simple internet search will yield many helpful results. As for this product, it sounds like for your application, it will work fine.

Yes, it comes with a rivet type. You can also get one of the screw types for it

Yes it can, but I replaced mine with 3/16 plexiglass and it was very easy. I had the plexiglass cut to size and I jig sawed the radii on them. the rivets have to be drilled out and replaced by either small nuts and bolts or pop rivets. I chose pop rivets as I had the tools to do that with.

Yes, you do get a couple of different sizes to try out. You can buy rivets in many sizes, depends on the project you have.
