1. Choose the right tool.

FORTUM provides two types of adaptors: for blind rivets, and for blind riveting nuts.

Blind rivets are used for permanent joining of sheets or profiles.

Using a blind rivet nut, you create an additional threaded joint in sheets and profiles.

2. Pick the right size.

Each of the two adaptors comes packed with a range of attachments in the most commonly used sizes.

The blind rivet adaptor offers six attachments for aluminum, copper, steel and stainless steel rivets, with a diameter of 2.4 to 6.4 mm.

The blind nut adaptor provides six attachments for M3 to M10 aluminum, steel and stainless steel blind rivet nuts.

3. Get your drill buddy.

The adaptors are used with a drill machine, preferably with a cordless drill. An electric or pneumatic drill can also be used, provided it has sufficient torque and speed control.

For the blind rivet adaptor, the recommended speed of the drill is max. 600 rpm.

For the blind rivet nut adaptor, the recommended speed of the drill is max. 240 rpm.

4. Do the job, easy way.

The rest is easy. Insert the rivet, or screw on the rivet nut, hold tight to the adaptor, and let the drill do the work for you.

Thanks to a smart system, the adaptor pulls the rivet or rivet nut, joins tight the material, and cleans up after itself.

(If using a strong drill, especially with the blind rivet nut adaptor, be careful not to damage the nut by running the drill at full speed when tightening the joint.)

5. Repeat ad libitum.

And that's the main point – you can repeat as long as you want or need, because you will not get tired. What would have taken you hours of tedious manual work with regular hand riveter, you will get done in a few minutes, without a sweat!
