Rivetking RK-8000LS Air Rivet Tool 1/4 in Pneumatic

Product Description

The RIVETKING RK-8000LS is a pneumatic air rivet tool engineered for professional fastening applications. Part of the 8000 Series, it delivers a 3,400-pound pull force and features an extra-long 1-inch stroke length, giving it reliable setting power across a range of closed-end and open-end rivet sizes up to 0.25 inches in diameter. A built-in mandrel collection system keeps the work area clean by capturing spent mandrels after each pull. Weighing 11.8 pounds, this tool is built for sustained production use by sheet metal fabricators, HVAC installers, and general trade contractors.

This tool is suited for residential and commercial applications where pneumatic riveting is preferred over manual tooling. The extra-long stroke aids in setting rivets cleanly in a single pull, reducing operator fatigue during repetitive fastening tasks. It accepts a standard 0.25-inch air inlet, making it compatible with common shop compressor setups. Typical install scenarios include ductwork fabrication, equipment panel assembly, and structural sheet metal work where consistent, high-pull-force rivet setting is required.

Compatibility

Designed for use with pneumatic riveting applications requiring closed-end and open-end rivet capacity up to 0.25 inches in diameter.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by sheet metal mechanics, HVAC technicians, and general trade contractors familiar with pneumatic tooling. Before connecting to an air supply, verify the line pressure matches the tool manufacturer rating and that the air supply is shut off during hose connections. Use a properly rated air hose and quick-connect fitting at the 0.25-inch inlet. Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating any pneumatic rivet tool, as mandrel fragments can eject at force.
