1/4-inch hand riveter
The Astro Pneumatic 1426 is a heavy-duty hand riveter designed for 1/4-inch capacity blind rivets. Its extra-long handles deliver strong leverage for driving larger fasteners with reduced effort. The tool suits automotive body work, fabrication and general sheet-metal assembly where pneumatic equipment is not available.
Check rivet sizes and access
Verify that the blind rivets you plan to use fall within the 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch range covered by the five included nosepieces. Ensure the work area allows enough clearance for the long handles to operate through their full stroke. Confirm the rivet material and grip length match the joint requirements before starting.
Mandrel catcher and nosepiece set
Spent mandrels collect in the integrated plastic container, keeping the workspace tidy and reducing slip hazards. The five nosepieces cover 1/8, 5/32, 3/16, 7/32 and 1/4-inch rivet diameters, so no separate purchases are needed for common sizes. The long-handle design requires two-handed operation and storage space for the full tool length.

Questions about this item
What nosepieces come with the 1426 riveter and do I need to buy any separately?
The 1426 hand riveter includes five nosepieces covering 1/8-inch, 5/32-inch, 3/16-inch, 7/32-inch and 1/4-inch rivet sizes, so no separate nosepiece purchase is required for those diameters.
Which capacity version should I choose for general sheet-metal work?
The 1/4-inch capacity model handles the full range of supplied nosepieces up to 1/4-inch rivets, making it the appropriate choice for general sheet-metal tasks.
How does the 1/4-inch capacity perform when the riveter is used on a real job?
The 1/4-inch capacity means the tool can set rivets up to that diameter; extra-long handles give added leverage, and spent mandrels drop into the built-in plastic container during use.
