A blind rivet and a threaded nut insert are set by different tools even though both are called riveters. A blind rivet joins two pieces permanently. A nut insert puts a thread into thin sheet so a bolt can be run into material too thin to tap. Both are set from one side, which is what makes either possible where the back cannot be reached.
Arm length decides both the force available and where the tool will fit. A long arm at 410mm sets a large insert with less hand effort. A short arm reaches into a channel or a corner where a long arm cannot be opened at all. Arm length is stated per riveter alongside the sizes it will set. Reaching the fixing point is often the harder constraint rather than setting the rivet once there.
Nozzle size is the fitment and it has to match the rivet or insert being set. A riveter is supplied with a set of nozzles covering the common sizes, and using an approximate one deforms the rivet rather than setting it. Nozzles are also replaceable, since they wear before the tool does.
Power removes the effort where the run is long. A lazy tong riveter multiplies the hand force through a scissor linkage, and an air riveter sets rivets from the air line at whatever rate they can be loaded.
