Do I need to buy separate rivet and threaded insert tools, or does this handle both?

This does both in one tool. You switch the function without swapping to a different rivet gun, which saves money and space in your toolbox.

Will this work on aluminum and steel panels?

Hand riveters and threaded insert tools work across both materials as long as you use the correct fastener type for your application. Match your rivets or inserts to the material you're fastening.

What size rivets and inserts can this handle?

Confirm your fastener specifications before ordering. Different rivet gauges and insert sizes require compatible tooling — contact us with your fastener specs to verify compatibility with this set.
