Universal Tool UT8942 Rivet Tool

The Universal Tool UT8942 is a pneumatic rivet tool built for high-volume light assembly. It compresses 5/16"-18 rivets and clinch nuts using a 0.4 HP motor rated at 600 RPM. A paddle trigger allows instant forward and reverse direction changes. Exhaust is directed through the handle for a cleaner workspace.

Shops requiring larger rivet diameters or different thread pitches must source alternative tooling. Operators without a compressed air supply cannot use this pneumatic unit.
