Product Overview
The Image One Impact Rivet Wheel is a professional vinyl installation tool designed to help installers release trapped air around rivets, fasteners, and other raised surfaces when applying pressure-sensitive graphics.
It is especially useful for vehicle graphics, fleet graphics, trailers, box trucks, commercial vehicles, and sign applications where vinyl must be installed across rows of rivets.
Applying vinyl graphics over riveted surfaces can create pockets of trapped air around the base of each fastener. If this air remains beneath the film, bubbles and pockets can interfere with the appearance and adhesion of the finished graphic.
The Rivet Wheel provides a practical way to create small air-release points in the vinyl so trapped air can escape as the material is worked down around the rivets.
Instead of addressing every rivet individually from the beginning, the rolling design allows installers to move the tool across riveted sections of the graphic in a controlled manner.
This makes the Rivet Wheel particularly useful for larger commercial and fleet graphics projects where dozens or hundreds of rivets may need to be addressed during installation.
Fleet vehicles, trailers, box trucks, and other commercial surfaces commonly feature rows of exposed rivets and fasteners. These raised areas require additional installation techniques to properly conform the vinyl and remove trapped air.
The Image One Impact Rivet Wheel gives professional installers a specialized tool for handling these challenging surfaces more efficiently and consistently.
After air-release points are created, the vinyl can be worked around the rivets using appropriate application techniques and compatible rivet finishing tools.
Always follow the vinyl manufacturer's recommended installation, heating, and finishing procedures for the specific film being applied.
The Image One Impact Rivet Wheel provides professional installers with a fast and controlled method for releasing trapped air around rivets and raised fasteners. Its rolling design makes it especially valuable for large fleet and commercial graphics projects where numerous rivets must be addressed efficiently and consistently.
