Spear & Jackson Lazy Tong Riveter

From Spear & Jackson, this lazy tong rivet tool is an ideal solution for heavy-duty fastening applications. With a single stroke compression action, the lazy tong riveter can quick and easily insert rivets into the workpiece. The pop riveter works by simply placing the rivet in the gun, inserting into a pre-drilled hole, and then pushing in the handle until the rivet expands and the stem or pin of the rivet breaks away. It is a quick and efficient way of joining materials together securely.

• Ideal for hard to reach areas
• Intensive use due to low-effort design
• It does not result in hand fatigue as quickly as a standard riveter
• Requires only a single stroke to secure a rivet
