Riveters

Staplers, tackers and riveters are used for creating strong joints between materials. Staplers drive home metal staples to secure lightweight materials, such as leather, cloth, plastic and paper together - or to timber. Tackers work in the same way but use a small variety of nail called a tack in place of a staple. For joints between two layers of plastic sheeting, leather or cloth, a riveter creates a permanent join using a rivet.
