UHO: Rivet Tool

This is a rivet tool. Rivets' main purpose are to be a reliable fastener. There are several different types including solid, blind, flush, tubular, and drive rivets. Each rivet has small differences than the next, including physical appearance and what the materials each rivet would best be used for. Before advances in welding, rivets held together many steel and metal structures. Rivet tools are used to close the edges of the metal of the rivet and install the rivets. Many aircraft carriers today are assembled with thousands of rivets!
