Project Ideas

Business

Mobile Rivet Repair & Retrofit

Offer on-site replacement of loose or missing rivets on sheet-metal enclosures, signage, HVAC housings, food trucks, and kiosks. The cordless tool reaches rooftops and tight sites, and the mandrel collector supports clean, OSHA-friendly jobs. Upsell to stainless or closed-end rivets for durability and sealing.


Gutter & Downspout Install/Service

Install and service aluminum gutters, downspouts, elbows, and leaf-guard retrofits using color-matched blind rivets. Riveting avoids stripped fasteners in thin metal, speeds ladder work, and provides clean aesthetics. Offer seasonal maintenance packages and quick storm-damage fixes.


HVAC Duct Fab and Field Mods

Fabricate transitions, patch panels, and access doors for sheet-metal ducts and rooftop units. Blind rivets allow one-sided fastening around flanges and corners. Bundle services with sealant application and insulation wrap for energy-efficiency upgrades.


Van/Box Truck Upfitting

Outfit cargo vans with riveted wall panels, partition kits, shelving, and tie-down rails without tapping threads. Use stainless rivets with backing washers where structure is thin, delivering rattle-free, professional interiors. Market to trades, delivery fleets, and mobile vendors.


Marine Aluminum Repair & Accessories

Provide on-site aluminum boat services: replace leaking rivets, install accessories (cleats, brackets), and patch thin skins with sealed blind rivets plus marine sealant. The high pulling force handles 1/4 in stainless rivets for robust, corrosion-resistant fixes at marinas.

Creative

Riveted Aluminum Greenhouse

Build a compact greenhouse or cold frame from 1x1 aluminum angle and twinwall polycarbonate panels. Use stainless 3/16–1/4 in blind rivets with nylon washers to fasten corner brackets, door hinges, and panel retainers. The one-handed tool lets you set rivets where clamps hold parts, and the mandrel collector keeps the workspace tidy.


Industrial-Chic Riveted Shelving

Create shelves using perforated steel angle, sheet-metal gussets, and decorative rivet rows. Lay out repeating patterns, pre-drill, and set steel or stainless rivets for a rugged, aircraft-inspired look. Add a matte clear coat or powder coat for a finished piece that highlights the rivet heads.


Camper Van Paneling & Storage

Panel a van interior with aluminum sheets and build lightweight storage boxes with angle and sheet offcuts. Use closed-end rivets with backing washers where you can’t reach the backside, and rubber grommets to prevent rattles. The LED light helps in dim interiors and the stroke sets long-grip rivets in one squeeze.


Riveted Bike Cargo Trailer

Assemble a bike trailer frame from square aluminum tube and sheet fenders/bed. Tie down points, axle plates, and reflectors can be attached with stainless rivets for durability. Blind rivets simplify tight corners and keep the build light but strong.


Road-Case Style Gear Trunk

Make an ATA-style case by riveting aluminum angle, corner hardware, and latches to plywood or composite panels. Use 1/4 in rivets for hardware and smaller sizes for trim. The tool-free nose changes speed up switching sizes, and the mandrel collector keeps debris out of the case.
