Do I need a specific type of rivet for this tool?

This tool works with standard aluminum and steel rivets. Check your rivet diameter before you buy — the tool is designed for universal compatibility, but match your fastener to your panel thickness.

Can I use this for body panel work?

Yes. This is the tool for panel bonding, trim attachment, and any repair where you need a permanent mechanical fastener without drilling through both sides or welding.

What maintenance does this tool need?

Keep the jaw and lever pivot clean and lightly oiled. Wipe off rivet debris between jobs. No consumables — this tool will outlast the car if you treat it right.
