Found a cute hand tool in a shed. Reverse image search suggests it's a riveting gun. One side says "Intern(i)et W. Germany", the other says "NZ-3". I'm not usually into riveting, however the name, "Internet" (or perhaps "Interniet"?), is intriguing and funny.

Does anyone have some context on the tool or the company that made it? Is it named Internet or Interniet? Why this name?

Turns out that "Niet" is "rivet" in German.

So it's Interniet, not Internet. User crip659 also managed to find some info on the company.

Pretty standard-looking pop-riveting tool.

Looks to be a nice design with 4 sizes of collet and 3 places to not lose the ones not in use.
