Which rivet materials can this tool handle?

This tool is compatible with aluminum, steel, and stainless steel rivets.

What is the maximum rivet size for steel?

The tool can handle aluminum and steel rivets up to 5 mm in diameter.

Can I use 5 mm stainless steel rivets?

No, stainless steel rivets are limited to a maximum diameter of 4 mm to prevent damage to the tool's internal components.

Are the nozzles included with the tool?

How do I maintain the rivet gun?

Troubleshooting

Rivet mandrel does not eject after setting.

Ensure the nozzle size matches the rivet shank diameter; if the mandrel is jammed, disassemble the head and remove the obstruction.

Handle is stiff or difficult to squeeze.

Apply a small amount of machine oil to the pivot points and ensure the internal jaw mechanism is free of debris.

Rivet does not seat properly.

Check that the nozzle is fully tightened and that the rivet is inserted completely into the tool before activation.
