Riveter Dedra 11Y022 — hand rivet tool, 1 pc

Riveter Dedra 11Y022 is a front-action manual rivet gun supplied as 1 piece, designed for installing aluminum blind rivets in metal, plastic and sheet materials. With a total length of 540 mm, the tool provides extended reach and increased mechanical leverage for controlled rivet setting. It is intended for assembly, repair and maintenance tasks where access, precise manual operation and portability are required.

Advantages

The front-action design enables clear line-of-sight to the rivet head and supports comfortable one-hand operation when accessibility allows. The 540 mm length increases leverage, reducing operator effort during setting of rivets in panels and profiles. Configured specifically for aluminum blind rivets, the tool is compatible with lightweight, corrosion-resistant fasteners commonly used in sheet metal and structural fittings. As a manual device, it offers simplicity, portability and low maintenance compared with powered alternatives.

Suitable for

• Installing aluminum blind rivets in sheet metal and light structural connections
• Assembly and fabrication of metal panels, ductwork and enclosures
• On-site repair and maintenance where power sources are unavailable
• Automotive trim, HVAC fittings and general metalwork fastening tasks

Key specifications

• Tool type: front-action manual rivet gun
• Material compatibility: aluminum blind rivets
• Total length: 540 mm for extended reach and leverage
• Operation: manual mechanical pulling mechanism
• Intended use: single-hand or two-hand operation depending on applied force

How to use

Select an aluminum blind rivet of the appropriate diameter and grip range for the materials to be joined. Insert the rivet into the prepared hole, place the rivet mandrel into the nosepiece of the front-action rivet gun and position the tool perpendicular to the work surfaces. Squeeze the handles steadily to pull the mandrel and form the blind head until the mandrel snaps, indicating the rivet is set. Release the handles and remove the spent mandrel from the nosepiece. Confirm hole size, material thickness and that the nosepiece matches the rivet diameter before riveting for reliable results.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Inspect the rivet gun regularly for wear on the nosepiece and jaws and replace worn parts to maintain reliable setting. For repetitive or high-volume riveting, allow periodic rest and use ergonomic handling to reduce strain. Store the tool dry to prevent corrosion and keep spare nosepieces matching rivet diameters on hand for efficient workflow.
