The Hafco RNB40 Nut & Blind Riveter Set from MachineryHouse is a dual-purpose hand tool, which can be used to install nut rivets or blind rivets to securely join a wide range of sheet metals such as aluminium, steel or stainless steel. This versatile tool is used in many applications, including restoration industries such as automotive, aviation, building, and home projects. The 130-piece kit includes a heavyduty hand operated twin handle riveter manufactured from aluminium & steel for durability and with moulded handles for superior grip. The set also includes: • Aluminium rivet nut inserts: M5, M6, M8 & M10 (10 of each size) • 4 x rivet nut mandrels • Blind rivets: Ø3.2mm, Ø4.0mm, Ø4.8mm, Ø6.4mm (20 of each size) • 4 x blind rivet mandrels • 1 x mandrel spanner • 1 x blow moulded carry case The Rivet Set is priced at $99 including GST and is available from any of the Hare & Forbes Machineryhouse outlets around Australia, or by web/ phone/mail order. New embedded IoT solutions for rapid prototyping from Microchip From the smallest PIC and AVR MCUs for sensors and actuator devices, to the most sophisticated 32-bit MCU and MPU gateway solutions for edge computing, Microchip now makes it possible for developers to connect to any major core and any major cloud, using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or narrow-band 5G technologies – all while maintaining a strong security foundation through the support of our Trust Platform for the CryptoAuthentication family. Microchip’s already broad portfolio of IoT solutions now includes six additional solutions. Making core, connectivity, security, development environment and debug capabilities easily accessible, all are designed to lower project costs and complexity in development. Available now: PIC-IoT WA and AVR-IoT WA boards: Two new PIC and AVR MCU development boards with a companion custom built rapid prototyping tool developed in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), helping designers natively connect IoT sensor nodes to the AWS IoT Core service via Wi-Fi.
