A rivet set is a tool used to seat the rivet while drawing the material to be joined together to eliminate any voids or spaces between the head of the rivet and the materials to be joined. Some rivet sets also have an indentation to assist in both initially deforming the rivet to "set it" and to assist in the final shaping, though in days of old the tool that was used for the final shape of a rivet was also sometimes referred to as a snap. But in another time a snap was what a round head rivet was called. This all, of course, was just to add a bit of generational confusion.

To produce a secure joint using blind rivets, first, select the appropriate rivet size and material for the materials being joined. Ensure the rivet hole is correctly sized and placed for optimal strength. Insert the blind rivet into the hole, then use a rivet gun to pull the mandrel, which expands the rivet body and securely clamps the materials together. Finally, inspect the joint to confirm that the rivet is fully set and that there are no gaps or misalignments.
