Product Description

The CHICAGO PNEUMATIC 8941098820 is a single-cylinder pneumatic air rivet tool designed for professional fastening applications in metal fabrication, automotive, HVAC sheet metal, and general mechanical assembly. It delivers 2200 pounds of pull force and accepts closed-end rivets up to 3/16 inch and open-end rivets up to 1/8 inch. The tool connects via a 1/4 inch NPT air inlet and consumes 4.00 liters per minute at operating pressure. At 8.9 inches in overall length, it is built for use in tight work envelopes without sacrificing pulling power. Licensed tradespeople and industrial mechanics rely on this tool for high-cycle riveting tasks where consistency and grip strength matter.

The 8941098820 is suited for residential and light commercial sheet metal work, HVAC duct fabrication, automotive body repair, and structural panel assembly. The compact single-cylinder design makes it practical for overhead work and confined access points common in mechanical room installations and vehicle chassis work. It ships with four nose pieces covering rivet diameters of 3/32 inch, 1/8 inch, 5/32 inch, and 3/16 inch, allowing the technician to transition between rivet sizes without additional tooling purchases.
