Hanson Rivet 3X Air Hammer Kit for Solid Rivets, Multiple Rivet Sets for Aircraft Sheet Metal Repair, Skin Replacement, and Fabrication
Solid riveting is one of the most fundamental skills in aircraft sheet metal construction and repair, and the quality of the rivet set driving the rivet determines whether each driven head is clean and consistent or requires a drill-out and replacement. Supplied by JHEARs Aerospace, the Hanson Rivet 3X air hammer kit provides the rivet sets needed to drive solid rivets cleanly and consistently across the range of rivet sizes and head styles encountered in aircraft repair patch work, skin replacement, and custom sheet metal fabrication. The kit is compatible with standard air hammers and built for the repetitive demands of production sheet metal work, delivering consistent driven head geometry across each rivet rather than the variability that comes from worn or poorly matched sets.
For aircraft builders, sheet metal mechanics, and repair technicians working on solid riveted structures, having the correct rivet set for each rivet head style and shank diameter is not optional; it is the difference between a rivet installation that meets the specification and one that needs to come out. The kit format provides multiple sets in one purchase, covering the range of common rivet configurations without requiring individual set sourcing for each head type.
Spec: Hanson Rivet 3X air hammer rivet set kit. Multiple sets for a range of solid rivet sizes and head styles. Compatible with standard air hammers. For aircraft sheet metal repair, skin replacement, and fabrication applications using solid AN and MS rivets.
Who this is for: Aircraft sheet metal mechanics and A and P technicians driving solid rivets during repair patch installation, skin replacement, and structural repair work, experimental and homebuilt aircraft builders working with solid riveted aluminium structures, and repair shops that need a comprehensive rivet set kit covering multiple head styles for production sheet metal work.
FAQ
What rivet head styles and sizes does this kit cover?
The Hanson Rivet 3X kit includes multiple rivet sets covering a range of common solid rivet head styles and shank sizes used in aircraft sheet metal work, including universal and countersunk head configurations. Verify the specific set configurations included in the kit against the rivet head styles and sizes in your repair or fabrication project before purchase.
What air pressure and hammer specifications are required to use these rivet sets?
The sets are compatible with standard air hammers used for aircraft sheet metal riveting work. The correct air pressure setting for driving a specific rivet size is determined by the rivet diameter and material, and should be set according to the rivet manufacturer's data or your aircraft sheet metal practices manual to avoid overdriving or underdriving the rivet.
How do I select the correct rivet set for a specific rivet head style?
The rivet set must match the head style of the rivet being driven — a universal head set for universal head rivets, and a countersunk set for flush countersunk installations. Using the wrong set profile will deform the rivet head or surrounding skin material. Refer to your aircraft sheet metal repair manual or AC 43.13-1B for rivet set selection guidance for specific rivet types and sizes.
Why should I purchase my riveting tools from JHEARs Aerospace?
At JHEARs Aerospace, we supply aircraft sheet metal tooling and riveting equipment selected for professional use in aircraft maintenance, repair, and fabrication environments. Our range is chosen to give mechanics and builders the tooling they need to drive solid rivets to the standard that structural aircraft repair demands.
