A tool used to attach flashings with blind rivets is a blind rivet gun, also known as a pop rivet gun. This tool pulls the mandrel of the rivet through the body, creating a secure joint by expanding the rivet in the material. Various types of rivet guns are available, including manual, pneumatic, and electric models, depending on the application and material thickness.

you dont unscrew the rivets you drill them out and replace them with a screw iv been fixing them for yearsDrill them out then try replacing them with screws, since nobody seems to carry window rivets but the dealer who charges ridiclous prices for four bloody rivets...Additional InfoThe rebuilt window motor I got at NAPA had 4 bolts to fasten the motor to the regulator and 4 large rivets to fasten the regulator back to the door, all included in the box ($65). Now all I need is a really big rivet gun (these are too big for a standard rivet tool, like the one I have. If you do get one in, you have to disassemble the rivet gun to get it back out.)

What tool is used to cut bolts or rivets?
We often find a saw used to cut bolts. Rivets might be cut if we can get the saw on the body, but we often have to drill them out. A sidewinder grinder will make short work of them if you can get it on the body of the fastener. Certainly a plasma cutter will slice through them, but we have to be careful about damaging material around the fasteners when we cut them that way.

Will you need a compression tool to change the ball joints on a 2001 Chevy blazer?
No. You will need a large hammer to separate the ball joints from the spindle. To remove them from the control arms, you must remove (destroy) the rivets. I prefer to use an air-hammer with chisel attachment, but you can also use a grinder or a drill to remove the rivets. Replacement ball joints typically use nut-and bolt (hardened) in place of the rivets. Note that some inexpensive replacement ball joints use inferior grade bolts that will strip if you try to tighten them properly. If this happens, purchase good bolts.
