Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks! Thank you! You don’t see lowes or home depot making helpful videos that home jobbers can understand
This was riveting.
That was my line!!
@@E-Kat No it was mine
@@samwalker7666 ok, you have nailed it.
HA
I came here because of this phrase
Someone who runs a hardware store and knows all the stuff in there and what it's all for and how you use it, is an unsung hero in my opinion. I love it when I can go someplace and explain what I need to do - without knowing the proper names, and the person understands what I am talking about and gets me what I need, or suggests other ways of doing what I need to do. Legends.
Good luck I find 18yòld kids that don't know shit shame on u aco
I love Ace Hardware! I always tell everyone I have to go to Ace and find the old man with the glasses in the hardware section! He is the Oracle and knows all!
There to expensive
Great video. I was trying to explain rivets to my 23 year old son. He asked why they didn't just weld instead, and I explained to him that some things need to flex and move. Thanks for the video.
Great point!

Every hero's journey starts with a rivet gun and a great tutorial. Thanks!
@UncleRody ♪ nah it starts with a socket wrench
@@heroichitsuji nah it starts with a screwdriver
@@pranav9339 nah it starts with your hands
You're all correct. That's why I liked all.
Simple advice. Worked just as in the video. I had a riveter and two boxes of rivets all 30 years old. Never used it before, someone gave them to me when I helped him move an industrial printer from a storage locker. I stuck it into a random bin at home and never used it till today. Low and behold the riveter and rivets were Ace Hardware brand, just like the video. How about that.
I love Ace Hardware vs the HD or Lowes. At Ace, you get great customer service and a knowledgeable person helping you out. Even giving lessons like this. They may be more expensive but you'll get treated right without chasing someone down in the big box stores.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this great, complete and short tutorial! Greetings from Chile!
Bought the Stanley about 2 years ago on sale at ACE but never got around to using it. Thank you.
Ace is the only place I can find all sizes of SS and Cu rivets! Awesome video thanks!
excellent! thanks. I bought mine years ago, I'm using it for the first time today :)
Ha Ha. You made me feel better. I bought mine months ago and just trying it now. 😂
Thank you!! I've done without this tool for years, and it could have come in handy many times! Better than drilled holes and zip ties!
Great video! Always love ACE Hardware. They are personal, helpful, and knowledgeable. Thanks for helping me figure out how to complete a riveting project.
Great and personable demonstration. If I could recommend this man for a raise or promotion, let this be it.
Hi Alec,
Thanks for the feedback!
@@AceHardware did you give him the raise/promotion?
Just bought mine at Walmart for 6 bucks it works great for me and basic needs.. it's amazing the uses for these
Thank you love from Australia 🇦🇺💞
Thanks, man. I always wondered how rivets work. I'm planning to go see about an old 70s aluminum camper shell in the next day or so, and it's clear in the ad photos that some of the roof is detatched. I was trying to think of how I would go about closing her up so that wind doesn't catch under there and tear her apart before I can fix her properly. Rivets seem like the way to go; maybe with a few thick beads of silicone or liquid nail
yes exactly. i've used epoxy when working with aluminum boats as well.
Just ordered one online, can’t wait to use it! Thanks for teaching me how to use the tool!!
I have seen these around for so long. My dad used them all the time and had so many rivet guns around. I always could never figure out how it operated. I feel dumb now, lol. But great video.
real question is.... why didn't he teach you?
Planning to buy rivet gun at Ace Hardware here in our area but don't know how to use. This is really helpful. Thank you!
This smiling rivet-man really puts it together.
Found a New never been opened Stanley Rivet gun like the one you featured at an Estate Sale for $8. Never used one before now I'm getting all sorts of idea on what I could do with it. Thanks for the video.

Much appreciated. Love the help

I am a homeowner with a day job who does not do anything construction related for a living. That being said I am working on framing out my basement and Bought this ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt gun. I have done a few walls already, have probably shot a couple hundred nails through this thing and have yet to have a misfire. It works awesome, good depth on every nail if you have your compressor set right. My literal only complaint is that it is a bit heavy and my arm can get a little tired especially whrn I am nailing at odd angles. That being said I am super happy with it and would buy it again. Hoping the old girl allows me to get my whole basement finished out!
Nicely done, man!! Very helpful!
Whoa. This guy is a very good instructor! Nice job.
Now I gotta go out and get some corner bead cause I learned the holes are supposed to be filled with rivets. I told them tapers they were full of hot air! Awesome video my main man!!!!!
Thanks for the simple and easy to understand tutorial. 👍🏽
Great explainer video. Thank you! The part that showed the compression of the rivet when you squeeze the handle helped me understand how a rivet gun actually works. Heading to the ACE in my neighborhood today :)
Thanks Arica! Glad we can help!
Thank you very much for helping me understand how a rivet works.
That was perfect. Thank you.
super helpful thank you. bought one at a garage sale and had never used one before, great tutorial. what if you have 2 thin pieces of material to join, are there rivets that leave less sticking out the back? can you use an angle grinder to shorten the nub on the backside, or is the pin essentially pulling the metal tube up/into itself, so cutting it would release the tension and the hold?
I just ordered the Loki+ this past weekend along with the new Mani 2 and hope to get them by this coming weekend. I've been EQing my music since the 80s and I don't care what others think. I like what I like! I might have to try the Bellari on my living room's system some day.
The part of the rivet that goes into the rivet gun is called the mandrel, and the part that stays in the material is called the rivet body. It is also important to use a rivet that meets the material thickness. I sell rivets, and it's important to get the correct rivet for the application.
I think its called a rivet shank the part that stays in.
The Hank Hill of Rivets!
@@hispanic88 I sell rivets and riveting accessories
Water leaking into my golf car via speaker on side panel of car door, the seal needs to be replaced, plasticspeaker held in place by rivets, worried that after sealing speaker with mastic, that danger of cracking speaker with rivets??
@@patrickokeeffe6998 what is the thickness of the material and is the material plastic or metal?

Thanks for the love Patrick!
This... is awesome. Thank you for the explanation.
Thanks Ace guy! I have one and don't know if I'll ever use it but at least I know how!
thank you, my wifes 2007 prius has speakers that are riveted in, I drilled them out and now I am going to replace the reivets to keep an OEM look. thanks
Great video! Now I know how I’m going mount my Starcraft emblems to my 14’ aluminum boat! I already have the gun and rivets just didn’t know how to use it properly
Really good demonstration, finally i understand it well now!
An ace in the hole indeed Great video many thanks.
Was that on purpose?
This is just what I was looking for, THANKS!

I know its not rocket science,but I do appreciate your demo. Thank you
Ace is the place with the helpful hardware man.
Thanks for helping I've never used one before till today i had no idea how to work it until i saw this video good explanation 👍👍👍
Perfectly explained. Thank you for your help.
😮 best video so far in how to use a rivet gun. Thank you.
Really simple and helpful, thanks.
Thanks for this presentation, it made clear the utility of rivets
This is the best explained video I have seen, I looked at Arrow who supplied mine and their video is really poor as I did not understand how it works, great Ace thanks
Thank you , this is the best rivet explanation in the world .
Thanks❤️. Me and my dad was having a bit of a challenge figuring it out, but the video explained it very well 👌
Glad we could help!
So basically it's embarrassingly simple to learn
Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folk.
Thanks Ace Family!
Hi Paige, Our pleasure! Let us know if there is a tool or DIY you need advice on!
Just riveted the heck out of my mailbox after some kent has caved it in. Thanks for a refresher.
Riveting so much easier than welding for putting two plates of metal together, usually looks much prettier if done well too.
Thanks for the helpful video.
Understanding this will save you another few hundred bucks avoiding calling the expert in 😹👌
My 1st time using a riveter. Thx for the vid.
Neat. Off to fix my mailbox hing now. Thanks!
I'm studying this topic rn, thanks
Thanks for the information very helpful
Cool video. The ending reminds of Clark Kent when he takes off his glasses and dawns his red cape :)
"dawns?"
lol. good lord.
Nice presentation, but I have a question about the rivet tips and the rivet pins, for instance the number I see on the rivet tips is something like 4.0, 4.8 etc and on the pin you have something like 3/16 etc, so How do I know which fits which. Thanks
Thanks for the demo am looking for a tool that will help me build antennas for ham radio, think this will do it
Good video. Great explanation on how it works.
ua-cam.com/video/ZC20OP4UjxM/v-deo.html
Thank you with informative video, i did followed your instructions and the results was amazing
Absolutely Perfect video....so clear and concise instructions. It worked a treat, THANK YOU. I do have one question...do you think these would hold up against heat,ie a fire pit? I tried welding but the sheet metal is too thin, just blows through. Any advice would be VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU AGAIN awesome video.
Hi Gail, Checking and will reply back here with an answer!
Hi Gail, We suggest you use steel rivets as the aluminum will melt under the extreme heat over time. There are also stainless rivets you could use. Hope this helps!
@@AceHardware wow, that was SUCH a speedy reply, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your message, I really appreciate your help. Great videos. Keep safe and well. X
Thanks for your demonstration!
Awesome instructional video on this!!! Many thanks!!! Awesome speaker
Thank you from a first-time riveter !
ua-cam.com/video/ZC20OP4UjxM/v-deo.html
Thank you... Now I know... Always wondered.,. Well presented! Thank you
I found that if you close the handle with the closer latch it’s much easier to change the heads :-)
Great video good explanation thanks
Thank you so much for the tutorial 🙏
Great tutorial and explanation!
thanks internet dad
Thanks for great video. What if you need it flat on both sides ?
Hi There,
That’s called a double cap rivet and you can get those its a different method to secure. A base and hammer are used. Hope this helps!
Thank you Sir, very helpful👍
Thank you, Ace Hardware
Very helpful. Thank you!
Man this was incredibly helpful thank you so much.
You are welcome!
I was hoping to see a guide on selecting rivets by grip depth. I'll keep looking.
I know how to use it now. Thank you for the tutorial. 👍👍👍👍
ua-cam.com/video/ZC20OP4UjxM/v-deo.html
Great video
Would this work for armour? I'm looking to use a traditional rivert rather than welding
Your example was on one piece of metal. You might explain that it’s used to hold two pieces of metal together.
Hey Dennis, Thanks for the suggestion!
Tremendously helpful...Greetings from West Sussex England.
Thanks for watching!
boom well explained!!!! thanks man. I love simple explanations
Awesome video and thank you for making it ❤️👍
Great video. Was just now using the thing.
ua-cam.com/video/ZC20OP4UjxM/v-deo.html
thank you positive man ,hallo from Croatia
Thanks Ace!
How do you put together the holding mechanism of the Dewalt swivel head riveter. While adjusting the top portion of the gun all the pieces fell out. There was a spring and three smaller pieces that dropped out and I was unsure how they fitted back into the barrel.
Do you snip off the long bit after you've riveted ?
Excellent video. Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Thanks ace I will get one
Riveting video! Thanks.
