This US PRO Tools long arm hand riveter is ideal for professionals and DIYers who need to install blind rivets efficiently, especially in hard-to-reach areas or when working with larger rivets. Its primary benefit is the increased leverage provided by the double handles, significantly reducing user effort. A potential caveat is its specialized nature; it's best suited for blind rivets and may be overkill for very small, infrequent tasks. Key features include a long arm design for enhanced reach and leverage, a durable steel jaw mechanism, and an integrated spent rivet stem collector for a cleaner workspace.

This long arm hand riveter is designed to handle blind rivets up to 6.4mm in diameter, including aluminum and steel types.
No, this tool is specifically designed for installing blind (pop) rivets only. It is not suitable for solid rivets.
The double handles provide significantly increased leverage compared to single-handle riveters. This reduces the physical effort required to set rivets, especially larger ones, making the tool more comfortable for extended use.
The tool is suitable for use with both aluminum and steel blind rivets.
Regularly clean the tool, especially the jaw mechanism and the spent rivet stem collector. Periodically lubricate the pivot points and handle joints with a light oil. Store in a dry environment.
The overall length of the US PRO Tools Long Arm Hand Riveter is approximately 450mm (18 inches).
This guide does not specify if rivets are included. Please check the product packaging or retailer information for details.
Ensure the rivet is fully seated in the nosepiece. Check if the rivet material (aluminum/steel) and size are compatible with the tool's specifications. Increase leverage by ensuring full handle closure.
Inspect the jaw mechanism for debris or wear. Clean the jaws thoroughly. Ensure the correct rivet size is being used.
Clean any debris from the pivot points. Apply a light lubricant (e.g., multi-purpose oil) to the handle joints and pivot mechanism.
Ensure the collector bin is not overfilled. Check that the stem is breaking cleanly at the designated point and falling towards the collector.
Setup: This tool requires no complex setup. Ensure the correct size and type of blind rivet are loaded into the nosepiece. Adjust the handles to a comfortable grip.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard blind (pop) rivets in sizes 3.2mm, 4.0mm, 4.8mm, 6.0mm, and 6.4mm. Suitable for use with both aluminum and steel rivets. Not designed for solid rivets.
