18-Inch Heavy-Duty Double-Hand Riveter, 3.2–4.6mm Rivet Capacity

Brief Overview

This 18-inch double-hand riveter is engineered for professional fastening applications requiring consistent, reliable rivet setting without power sources. The extended arm length provides superior mechanical advantage, making it ideal for high-volume production environments, field assembly work, and applications where pneumatic tools aren't practical. The compound linkage design reduces operator fatigue while delivering the force needed for solid rivet installation. For shops managing diverse fastening needs, pairing this manual tool with pneumatic blind riveting equipment ensures flexibility across aluminum and steel fastening tasks.

Key Features

• Extended 18-Inch Arm Length – Maximizes mechanical leverage, reducing operator effort per rivet cycle
• Compound Linkage Mechanism – Multi-bar silver-plated linkage provides optimized force multiplication
• CR-MO Steel Jaws (3 Sets Included) – Heat-treated for durability and resistance to deformation under repeated stress
• Medium Carbon Steel Internal Components – Socket and jaw pusher engineered for longevity and consistent clamping force
• 3.2–4.6mm Working Range – Covers standard metric rivet diameters for sheet metal, aerospace, and automotive assembly
• Ergonomic Blue PVC Handle Covers – Reduces hand fatigue during extended use; secure grip even with wet or oiled hands
• Integrated Mandrel Collection Bottle – Captures spent mandrels, reducing shop floor cleanup and maintaining a safer work environment
• Changeable Nosepiece – Hex-secured attachment allows quick switching between rivet types without tool changes
• Heavy-Gauge Steel Construction – Blue-painted head and black painted arms deliver durability for industrial workshop settings

Business Advantages for Resellers

• No Power Dependency – Eliminates compressed air line requirements; suitable for on-site, mobile, and remote assembly work where pneumatics aren't available
• Low Operating Cost – Zero electricity or air consumption; only consumable is replacement mandrels
• High Profit Margin – Manual tools command stable margins with no warranty complexity around pneumatic failures
• Recurring Revenue – Operators consume replacement jaw sets and mandrels, creating natural repeat orders
• Compact Shipping & Storage – Self-contained tool with minimal packaging waste; high stock turnover potential
• Cross-Sell Opportunity – Appeals to shops already investing in air-powered riveting systems, creating a complete fastening solution portfolio

Application Summary

This 18-inch riveter is essential for automotive panel assembly, aircraft component fastening, metal ductwork fabrication, appliance manufacturing, and field repair operations where portability and independence from air lines are critical. The extended leverage makes it particularly valuable in high-cycle production environments where operator fatigue reduction directly impacts throughput and quality.

Why Stock This Tool

Professional shops and contract assembly operations recognize that manual riveters remain indispensable when air lines are unavailable, when precision mandrel setting is required, or when working in confined spaces. The 3.2–4.6mm range covers the majority of standard metric fastening needs, and the included three jaw sets ensure minimal downtime for maintenance. Resellers who offer this alongside pneumatic alternatives position themselves as one-stop fastening suppliers, capturing both power-dependent and portable application segments.

Stock this tool for shops that demand reliability, portability, and zero utility dependencies.
