The Sealey Medium-Arm Riveter (AK3983) is an essential manual fastening tool designed for professional mechanics and tradespeople who require high-leverage performance for heavy-duty riveting tasks. It excels at driving a variety of rivet types—including aluminium, steel, and stainless steel—up to 6.4mm in diameter with minimal physical exertion, though its medium-arm design requires a dedicated workspace compared to compact hand riveters.

No, the AK3983 is designed for standard blind and structural rivets. For rivnuts, consider the Sealey AK393 or AK3985 models.
It is rated for rivets up to 6.4mm (1/4 inch).
Yes, the Chrome Molybdenum jaws are hardened to handle the increased force required for stainless steel rivets.
Yes, Sealey provides support for their tools; contact your local dealer or Sealey support for specific nose pieces or jaw kits.
Due to the medium-arm leverage design, it is intended to be operated with both hands for maximum control and efficiency.
Ensure the nose piece matches the rivet size and check that the internal jaws are clean and free of stuck debris.
Inspect the pivot points for wear and ensure the tool is properly lubricated with a light machine oil.
Verify that you have used the correct drill bit size for the rivet and ensure the rivet head is seated flush before actuating.
To operate, simply select the correct nose piece for your rivet size and ensure it is tightened securely into the head. Place the rivet through your pre-drilled holes and operate the handles in a smooth, continuous motion. Maintenance is straightforward: keep the jaw area free of debris and metal shavings to prevent clogging. Periodically check that the nose pieces are tightened, as vibration during use can cause them to loosen. Store the tool in a dry environment to maintain the finish of the steel handles and the integrity of the internal mechanism.
