The Eclipse 2800 General Purpose Riveter is a versatile manual fastening tool designed for tradespeople and home DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable solution for joining materials. It offers the benefit of handling four common rivet sizes with ease, though users should note it is designed for manual operation and requires consistent hand pressure for heavy-duty applications.

The Eclipse 2800 supports 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm diameter rivets.
While it can handle most standard rivets, stainless steel is significantly harder to pull and may require more physical effort; ensure you remain within the tool's intended light-to-medium duty scope.
Use the included spanner to unscrew the current nose piece from the head of the riveter, then screw in the required size until snug.
The package includes the riveter, four nose pieces, and a spanner. Spare jaws are generally considered wear items and may need to be replaced separately after extensive use.
No, the long nose is one of the four interchangeable nose pieces provided in the kit.
The jaws may be clogged with debris; open the head and clean the jaw assembly with a soft brush.
Check that the nose piece is fully tightened and that the rivet mandrel is the correct size for the installed nose.
Verify that the hole diameter is correct for the rivet size being used; if the hole is too large, the rivet cannot grip effectively.
To set up the riveter, identify the correct nose piece matching the diameter of your rivet and use the provided spanner to unscrew the existing piece and tighten the new one. Ensure it is firmly seated but do not over-tighten, as this can strip the threads. For maintenance, keep the internal jaws free of debris and metal shards. A light drop of machine oil on the moving pivot points every few months will ensure the handle action remains smooth. Store the tool in a clean, dry location to prevent corrosion of the internal mechanism.
