Fastening tools are any type of tool that can be used in the process of fastening materials together. Several examples of these types of tools are a hot-melt glue gun and a pop-rivet gun.

There is a wide range of uses for a hot melt glue gun when fastening parts of a project together.

This hot melt glue gun proved to be useful in security plastic items like acrylic sheet plastic I used in a splash guard for an induction stove.

This was the only way I found to hold the sidewalls of this splashguard together with the base.

See the link “Induction Stove Splashguard” for more details.

Rivet Gun

A pop rivet gun is also an useful fastening tool because there is a large range of items that can be fastened together with pop rivets. The tool seen above as four different sized rivet shanks to use a wide range of rivet sizes and lengths.

Again, if these tools are taken care of well, then they can last for a lifetime. These are a few of the essential things that boys should obtain because they have a wide range of uses for many different projects using various kinds of materials.
