Italian industrial fastener specialist, Rivit Srl, has launched a new line of battery powered riveting tools featuring powerful brushless motors and long-lasting batteries. These riveters are designed specifically to set blind rivets and rivet nuts of different sizes and materials in a wide range of settings – offering the versatility required to meet the needs of both professionals and DIYers.
The range consists of two battery powered riveters for blind rivets – RIV710 and RIV720 – and two tools for placing rivet nuts – RIV730 and RIV740.
The two models dedicated to blind rivets feature an ergonomic soft rubber handle for operator comfort and have an 18V / 2Ah / 36Wh battery and a 100V – 240V / 50Hz – 60Hz battery charger. They can install blind rivets in steel and in all the main steel alloys and are equipped not only with a practical container for collecting the cut mandrels, and a pull start button, but also a battery charge level indicator and a light to illuminate the application area.
The RIV710 places blind rivets with diameters from 2.4mm up to 4.8mm, while RIV720 places blind rivets from 2.4mm up to 6.4mm, thanks to the provision of an interchangeable clamp-opener kit.
The battery powered riveters dedicated to rivet nuts are also equipped with a soft and ergonomic handle to facilitate the operator’s grip, a practical button to start the tool, an LED light system, and a touch panel that allows users to adjust and select the best function for their needs. These two models also feature an 18V / 2Ah / 36Wh battery and the 100V – 240V / 50Hz – 60Hz battery charger, but they differ in maximum force and size of the rivet nuts they can place. Nevertheless, RIV730 is ideal for rivet nuts from M3 to M8, (although M10 is possible if comprising aluminium), and delivers 20,000 Newton; RIV740 reaches 28,000N and will set rivet nuts from M3 to M12.
This new range of products come in dedicated carrying cases, with a wide range of accessories, two batteries, and is covered by repair and maintenance services, which guarantee fully qualified support to the customer.
