Hand Riveting Tongs

Hand riveting tongs are a type of hand tool used to install blind rivets. They are typically made of steel or aluminum and have a long, extendable handle that provides leverage for setting the rivet. The tongs have two jaws that grip the rivet mandrel and a rivet head that is used to expand the rivet body. Once the rivet is expanded, the mandrel is broken off and the rivet is locked in place.
