What happens here

Many powered rivet guns, like the Milwaukee M12 shown, have a built-in collection cup to catch the spent mandrels after they snap off. Periodically, unscrew or remove the collection cup from the bottom of the rivet gun and empty the accumulated mandrels into a waste receptacle for safe disposal. This keeps the workspace clean and prevents discarded mandrels from becoming a hazard.

Goal: Safely collect and dispose of spent rivet mandrels.
