Again, the "spike" remains in the riveter as a gripping mechanism..... therefore, a hole IS required for a riveter to function.

no, the spike goes into the end of the rivet gun and the round part is inserted into the predrilled hole, and when squeezed the shaft part collapsed, its a softer material and then the spike is cut off inside the rivet gun and thrown away. i don't know if i explained that correctly but it's a great invention.
