About Riveting Tools
The Riveting Tools category, identified by ID 7064, is part of the Hardware > Tools hierarchy. This specific category is designed for manual, pneumatic, and power-driven devices used to fasten rivets or rivet nuts into various materials like metal or plastic.
Product Examples
This category is intended for tools specifically engineered to secure rivets. Examples from the US market include:
- Manual hand riveters and swivel head riveters.
- Cordless riveting tools and battery-powered rivet setters.
- Rivet nut tool kits and setter attachments for drills.
- Electric riveting machines designed for industrial assembly.
Exclusions and Better Categorization
Do not place products here that belong to other hardware tool categories. Items like general-purpose Hammers, Pliers, or Nailers & Staplers have their own dedicated taxonomy sections. Furthermore, drill-related accessories that are not specifically for riveting should be placed under Drills, while fasteners themselves—such as the actual rivets or nuts—should generally be categorized under Fasteners if they are sold separately without the tool.
Subcategory Usage
If your inventory is specialized, you should prefer the more specific subcategories of Rivet Guns or Rivet Pliers to ensure the highest level of granularity for Google's automated systems.
Feed Implementation
In your feed, you may use either the ID 7064 or the full path Hardware > Tools > Riveting Tools. While providing this attribute is optional, it is recommended to ensure accurate classification, as Google will otherwise attempt to categorize your items automatically. Remember that product_type is a distinct, free-form field for your internal organization and does not replace this required taxonomy mapping.
