Additional Information
- Adapt or get left behind. Rivet busters did, and it is exactly why they remain relevant in the construction industry. The configuration of rivet busters has not changed, but their function has evolved. Originally used to cut and drive metal rivets, rivet busters now are more commonly called on to break concrete. However, renovations to older structures still call for rivets, so the tool is not fully removed from its old responsibilities. A popular rental item here in Squamish used for tackling the hard granite boulders found in this area, as well as concrete work where the lighter tool is favored.
- How did rivet busters evolve into concrete work? As bolts became the industry norm for new construction, rivet busters started competing with jackhammers to break up concrete. Jackhammers were purposely built for the concrete application, so why are rivet busters popular? Contractors found lightweight rivet busters to be handy and extremely valuable on the jobsite. Rivet busters are light tools at 33 lbs maximum, and that includes the tool steel. There is more power for the weight as opposed to, say, a 65-lb jackhammer and the user gets a similar power force. The rivet buster is not only easier on the back but causes less fatigue.
