Yes, they are the same. They refer to battery-powered rivet guns to install rivets.

How do I choose a cordless rivet gun?

As a powered riveting tool, a cordless rivet gun is light to carry and easy to operate. In addition, users can run it flexibly at a lower cost than an air rivet gun. The advantages almost become the selection criteria for choosing a suitable cordless rivet gun:

• Weight – Cordless rivet guns can be handheld all day long, so weight is critical. The selection guide is to choose a tool powerful enough to set the rivets but as light as possible. Gesipa cordless rivet guns are lightweight, about 2.1kg. The newly released Gesipa Birdie® weighs only 900g without a battery.
• Stroke – Stroke is the length of travel the jaw mechanism can achieve. The longer stroke of the tool allows it to install rivets in larger grip ranges all in one pull. These rivets include Monobolt® and MagnaLok® rivets.
• Pulling Force  – is the force or torque the tool generates to install a rivet. In general, a tool with a higher pulling force is more powerful. This means it can install larger rivets or those made of stainless steel.
• Setting Capacity – tells you the exact size and type of rivets the tool can install. Ensure the rivet you are installing is in the tool working range.
• Battery Power – Batteries come in different types, like Lithium-ion and NiCad. They also have different operating voltages. The most common voltages are 12V, 14.4V, 18V, and 18.8V. Batteries vary in current and Amp, such as 2.0Ah and 4.0Ah.

How many rivets can I install with a single battery charge?

The new Gesipa® CAS Li-lon battery 18v 2.0Ah uses Ultra-M technology. It boosts productivity by providing extra power and longer runtime, allowing you to install more rivets per charge.

The size and material of the rivets determine the number of rivets installed per charge. For example, you can install approximately 1,800 pieces of 2.4mm aluminium rivets per charge using the Gesipa Accubird Pro cordless rivet gun. The number of 6.0mm steel rivets is close to 500. You can install more rivets on one charge with the Gesipa CAS LiHD battery 18v 4.0Ah.

How do I fix a battery rivet gun?

Battery rivet guns require regular maintenance, especially in the nose assembly area, to prevent tool failures. The frequency of maintenance depends on how many rivets workers install - it could be once a month or daily.
