riveter
Joins steel permanently
A riveter is a person or tool that installs rivets—metal fasteners that join materials by being hammered flat on both ends.
The term gained cultural resonance from "Rosie the Riveter," the iconic World War II figure representing women who worked in factories while men served overseas.
As a tool, a riveter may be manual or pneumatic: He used a pop riveter to secure the metal panels.
