Etymology

The term 'riveter' originates from the word 'rivet', which has French roots, derived from the Old French word 'rivet', meaning 'to fasten'. The use of rivets as fasteners dates back to ancient civilizations, where they were used in metalworking and architecture. The industrial revolution saw a significant spike in the use of rivets, especially in the construction of iron and steel structures, like bridges and ships. As technology evolved, so did the tools associated with rivetting, leading to the creation of more sophisticated and efficient riveting tools. Today, 'riveter' encompasses both the tool and the skilled worker who applies it in various industrial contexts.
