Lazy Tong Hand Riveter

Product Information

This heavy-duty riveter features an aluminium alloy body with a three-jaw gripping action, steel fitments, nozzles and concertina rods with an ergonomic rear handle. Without the rivet gun (or 'nut riveter'), most engineering and production tasks would take an extraordinarily long time. These handy power tools are used wherever there's rivets to be fastened or unfastened - so in other words, just about everywhere. Metalworking / Sheeting - Another important riveting application, rivet guns are used to join large metal sheets.

The Faithfull lazy tong or concertina style riveter, is a powerful riveting tool that can be used with only one hand without any loss of efficiency. Rivets are extremely common throughout production, assembly, manufacturing, and engineering jobs as a potent alternative to welding. Large assembly or engineering projects use thousands upon thousands of rivets, making rivet guns a must-have in these situations. Length - There's somewhat of a balancing act to be had with the length of a rivet gun. On one hand, professionals value rivet guns with long handles as this enables them to work in hard-to-reach places. On the other hand, too long a handle results in a clumsy experience and can make the rivet gun heavier.Automotive - For those who work in garages, rivets are used for all kind of automotive applications - making rivet guns a must-have. To use a rivet gun, place the head of the gun on the rivet head. The energy from the gun then drives in (or out) the rivet automatically. Pneumatic rivet guns - Pneumatic rivet guns are powered by a robust air compressor that's separate to the rivet gun. As a result, pneumatic rivet guns are small and lightweight, but extremely powerful and tethered to the compressor. Riveting - They are most effective when riveting. They can be used on aluminium, stainless steel, and plastic rivets. This industrial grade tool is perfect for use in garages, coachworks, boat building yards, agricultural machine workshops, construction and general maintenance workshops.

The robust durable construction is designed to withstand continuous and repetitive applications and is supplied complete with five interchangeable nozzles for all popular rivet sizes of 2.4. 3.2, 4, 4.8 or 6.4mm diameters and can be used with aluminium, steel and stainless-steel rivets. If you're looking for the perfect tool for your job, feel free to ask our experts for specialised advice. When it comes to air compressors, it's better to have too much than too little. Larger air tanks keep your rivet gun performing effortlessly over longer periods of time. Weight - The weight of your rivet gun directly impacts the manoeuvrability, noise, and accuracy when in use. Heavier rivet guns can cause fatigue when used for long periods of time. When choosing a rivet gun, you'll be faced with two main options - electric or pneumatic. Each power source comes with its own benefits:RS PRO aims to be your go-to brand for reliability and value for money. We source great parts at great prices and test everything with our in-house experts to ensure the quality you need. As the lazy tong riveter relies on a single action to operate, it can reduce hand fatigue when compared to a plier style rivet gun. It is also more useful for riveting in hard to reach places. However, as the lazy tong riveters require more space to operate correctly, it is not as suitable for applications in more space-limiting environments. The lazy tong riveters lever action reduces the effort and force required to set rivets, allowing the tool to be used for longer periods of time with reduced user fatigue. Air Compressor - Ensure the air compressor you buy is powerful enough to keep a pneumatic rivet gun running effectively.
