Kielder TYPE18 18V Heavy-Duty Brushless Riveter: Industrial Fastening Power

The Kielder TYPE18 18V Heavy-Duty Brushless Riveter is an industrial-grade cordless fastening tool engineered for high-volume, daily use across manufacturing, automotive repair, and fabrication environments. Capable of handling pop rivets up to a massive 6.4mm capacity, it delivers an impressive 9000Nm of pulling force and a 23mm stroke length to speed up assembly operations without the restriction of pneumatic air hoses.

Featuring a high-performance digital brushless motor and a precision-engineered internal mechanism, this riveter ensures long service life and consistent pulling power. Designed with practical features like a rear spent-shaft collection chamber and a comfortable soft-grip handle, it combines heavy-duty capacity with ergonomic efficiency.

Why Choose the Kielder TYPE18 Heavy-Duty Riveter?

A dedicated cordless riveter is essential for:
