In the following riveting tool categories, you can easily purchase the blind rivet tools you need online from one of our selected authorised retailers.
What is a blind rivet tool?
A blind rivet tool is a tool that you use to set blind rivets. Blind rivets are used to permanently join two workpieces together without you having to access the back of the workpieces. This is particularly useful when you want to make a connection in difficult-to-reach places.
During the setting process, the blind rivet tool pulls the mandrel of the rivet through the rivet body. In doing so, the rivet deforms and forms a closing head on the back of the material. The tool then cuts off the protruding mandrel, and the connection is complete.
You can find blind rivet tools in different versions: hand tools, battery-powered, pneumatic or automated with the help of a robot, depending on your needs and work environment.
Do you need spare parts for your blind rivet tool?
We recommend that you have regular maintenance carried out on your blind rivet tools and that you replace the usual wearing parts. You can find useful information about maintenance work, spare parts, servicing and repairs for our riveting tools here:
Differences between hand tools, battery-powered, pneumatic and automatic setting tools
Hand tools set blind rivets using pure muscle power. They are well suited for smaller projects and occasional applications. Hand riveters are available in different versions, for example with longer lever paths, scissor action or Ratchet function, to better transfer the force to the blind rivet to be deformed during the setting process.
Pneumatic blind rivet tools use compressed air. They work powerfully and quickly. These riveting tools are particularly suitable for use in workshops or in industrial production – wherever a lot of riveting is done regularly. However, they require a compressed air source.
Battery-powered setting tools work electrically and make your work easier. They offer more convenience and can be used on the go. The battery power determines how long you can work. These devices are ideal if you do a lot of work on the go or need flexibility. GESIPA® battery riveting tools are equipped with batteries from CAS, which can also be used with many other battery-powered devices from other manufacturers.
Automatic blind rivet tools can be operated either manually or fully automatically, depending on your needs, as they can be operated by a worker or integrated into a robot. They are suitable for industrial production. These tools enable particularly high volumes and can be adapted to individual requirements.
Finding the right blind rivet tool
To find the right blind rivet tool, you should know your requirements exactly. Consider how often you will use the tool and what the application is. For occasional jobs, a hand tool is sufficient. It is easy to use and cost-effective. Pay attention to the weight and ergonomics of the tool. A tool that fits well in the hand makes work considerably easier. If you regularly set blind rivets, a battery-powered setting tool is useful. It offers flexibility and requires less effort. Battery riveting tools are often used on construction sites and in the assembly sector. If you regularly work in a workshop and need to process larger quantities of blind rivets, a pneumatic tool is recommended. It works quickly and efficiently, but requires a compressed air source. For industrial applications, an automatic setting tool is ideal. It guarantees precision and speed when handling particularly large quantities. These can be operated by a worker by hand or fully automatically via a robot.

Do you have further questions about the right blind rivet tool? We provide the answers and help you to find the right riveting tool for your application.
Several key figures are crucial for blind rivet tools. Pay attention to the setting force of the rivet tool you are using. The setting force is the force exerted by the rivet tool on the blind rivet to form it. With the right setting force, tailored to the application, neither the rivet nor the material will be damaged. The working range is just as important. It indicates which materials, rivet diameters and lengths the setting tool is suitable for. Also, pay attention to the weight. Lightweight tools are more comfortable to use for longer periods of time.
You can securely join a variety of materials with a blind rivet tool. These include, in particular, metals such as aluminium, steel and stainless steel. These materials are frequently used in industry and trade. However, they can also be used to join plastics and thin sheets. To ensure a stable connection, make sure that the materials are compatible with each other.
The force required depends on the blind rivet tool. Hand tools require more physical effort. You have to apply the tensile force yourself to set the rivet. With regular use, this can be exhausting.
Pneumatic or battery-powered tools take this work off your hands. They require significantly less force. You only need to guide the tool and press the trigger. This allows you to work for long periods without tiring.
