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.

Air-Powered Rivet Nut Tools
Install any size or style of rivet nut with a single tool. When you connect these tools to your compressed air line, the hydraulic fluid inside is pressurized, which generates the force needed to collapse a rivet nut. They’re also known as hydropneumatic rivet nut tools. Rather than rotating the rivet nut, like single-size rivet nut tools, these tools pull it straight back. This means you can adjust the pull force or stroke depth to match your application. Set the pull force if you’re installing rivet nuts into workpieces with different thicknesses. Set the stroke depth to install rivet nuts in soft or fragile materials without cracking or warping the surface.
Use tools with a 7,190 lb. pulling force to install rivet nuts made from hard materials, such as titanium. They’re also good for large nut sizes. However, they take about three times longer to install a nut than tools with a 3,960 lb. pulling force.

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.
