Makita XVR02Z 18V Cordless Electric Riveter Brushless

Product Description

The MAKITA XVR02Z is an 18-volt cordless electric riveter built for professional fastening work in metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, and general construction applications. Powered by a brushless motor, it delivers consistent pull force without the need for compressed air or manual effort. The tool accepts blind rivets in aluminum, steel, and stainless steel up to 0.25 inches in diameter, with a stroke length of 30 mm. A built-in LED provides visibility in confined or low-light work areas. This is a tool-only unit — no battery or charger is included. It is compatible with MAKITA 18-volt LXT batteries sold separately.

The XVR02Z is suited for residential and light commercial installations where sheet metal joining, bracket mounting, or panel assembly is required. HVAC technicians use cordless riveters for duct flange connections and equipment mounting. Electricians and sheet metal workers rely on them for enclosure assembly and cable tray work. The cordless format eliminates hose drag and compressor dependency, making it practical for overhead work, rooftop installs, and tight mechanical rooms. Battery compatibility with the MAKITA 18V LXT platform allows techs already running that system to add this tool without extra charging infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this riveter should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with fastening standards applicable to their trade, such as SMACNA guidelines for sheet metal or NEC requirements for electrical enclosure assembly. Before beginning any riveting work, ensure the workpiece is de-energized if electrical components are involved and that all adjacent systems are properly secured. Use the correct rivet mandrel size for the rivet diameter being set and inspect the nose piece for wear during regular maintenance. Do not exceed the rated rivet diameter capacity of 0.25 inches.
