To install threaded rivets, you need a special tool. In most cases, its purchase is impractical, since the need for it arises extremely rarely. In this case, you can make a rivet holder for a threaded rivet with your own hands. There are several proven working designs of homemade tools, the most successful of which involves use in conjunction with a screwdriver. It is easy to manufacture, and most importantly, it allows you to install rivets without any effort at all, since the screwdriver takes on all the force.

Materials:


  • nut M27 or larger;
  • 1/2 inch pipe;
  • M5 pin;
  • nut M5;
  • extended nut M5;
  • nut M6;
  • thin hose.

Manufacturing process


To assemble the tool, you need to drill through the large nut with a 5.5mm drill.
In order not to miss the exit, you can turn it over and make the same hole on the contrary. One of them needs to be drilled for a countersunk head to a diameter of 10 mm.

A handle is welded to the side of the countersunk hole. You can weld a half-inch pipe with a rubber lining.For the latter, a hose of suitable diameter or a grip from a bicycle handlebar will do. There will be a load on the handle, so you need to weld it with a high-quality continuous seam so that nothing comes off.

A regular nut and then an extended nut are attached to the M5 stud. An M6 nut or bushing is put on it from the open end. The pin is inserted into the hole opposite the thread, and a piece of hose is pulled onto it inside a large nut with a handle. Next, the pin is passed further until it comes out on the back side of the part. In order for it to pass through the hose, it must be rotated.

Next, you need to screw the rivet onto the protruding end of the stud until it goes into the countersunk until it stops in the body of the riveter. After this, it is inserted into the hole that needs to be riveted, and the stud must be tightened by rotating the elongated nut with a screwdriver. To do this, you can clamp the socket head in its chuck.

As soon as the rivet shrinks enough to hold the parts being connected securely, the screwdriver is switched to reverse rotation mode. As a result, the pin can be easily unscrewed. The proposed design is simple and reliable. To make it you need a minimum of cost and effort, since all the parts can be easily found in the store or selected from the stocks available in the workshop.
