Tools for Blind Rivets and Rivet Nuts
This tool has changeable nosepieces, anvils, and pull-up studs for installing rivets and rivet nuts. A self-contained hydraulic system delivers additional force to make installation easier. Choose the attachment that matches your rivet's diameter or nut thread size. To install a rivet, insert the mandrel into the nosepiece of the tool. Place the rivet in the material and squeeze the handles. The tool pulls the mandrel through the rivet's body, creating a secure hold on both sides of the material, and breaks off the excess mandrel.
Pull-up studs and driving anvils for 6-32 to 3/8"-16 and M3 to M10 rivet nuts are sold separately.

Hydraulic/Air-Powered Rivet Nut Tools
Install nearly any size or style of rivet nut in five seconds or less. Ideal for high-volume work, these tools run for as long as they have a supply of compressed air. They have two primary modes: pull-to-stroke and pull-to-force. With the pull-to-stroke mode, you set the stroke depth based on the thickness of your material. This works best when installing a large number of rivet nuts into the same thickness of material. It's also ideal for working with fragile materials. With the pull-to-force mode, you set the pull force regardless of material thickness. Use this mode when installing rivet nuts in a variety of material thicknesses.
Style B tools are almost twice as powerful as Style A tools, thanks to a pull force of 7,190 lbs. They’re able to install the largest rivet nut sizes we offer and work on tough materials, such as titanium. These tools only require you to press the trigger once per nut. Thread the nut onto the included mandrel, then insert the rivet nut into the material. When you pull and hold the trigger, the tool installs the nut and then automatically reverses out.

Pull Force Calibrators for Rivet Nut Tools
Avoid failed rivet nuts by periodically testing the pull force of your rivet nut tool. These calibrators work with air-powered and hydraulic/air-powered rivet nut tools. They display force measurements on two digital touch screens. The left screen shows a graph and read-out of current pulling force, while the right screen shows the results of the last seven tests. Track performance to plan maintenance—they store test data on the included microSD card.
An anvil and mandrel assembly (sold separately) is required. Choose a thread size that matches your tool. Thread the anvil and mandrel assembly onto the calibrator to begin testing.
