Custom Riveter Jaws
This project involved creating a replacement set of jaws for a riveting tool. This tool compresses a solid rivet in a hole to create a secure connection. For a specific job, however, the jaw reach was not enough to reach the rivet. I designed these jaws that give more reach, more leverage, and more clearance over the original design. A proper, hardened steel was chosen for strength and durability.
