Rivet Tool MODECO Side Riveter MAXX 250 mm MN-40-007

The MODECO Side Riveter MAXX 250 mm (model MN-40-007) is a handheld manual rivet tool designed for installing blind rivets in metal, plastic and other sheet materials. Its 250 mm body length provides extended reach and greater leverage to set rivets in narrow or hard-to-reach locations. The side-entry design positions the rivet nose perpendicular to the handles, allowing work in tight spaces where a conventional top-entry riveter would be difficult to use. The tool is intended for workshop use, on-site repairs and general assembly tasks requiring reliable blind rivet fastening.

Advantages

The rivet tool offers increased mechanical advantage due to its longer handles, reducing operator effort during repeated use. The side rivet feed enables easier access to confined areas and facilitates precise rivet placement. Constructed with durable materials for the nosepiece and jaws, the tool is suitable for frequent use on mixed materials including aluminium and plastic. Its manual operation requires no power source, making it convenient for mobile work and situations without electricity.

Suitable for

• Fastening thin metal sheets and aluminium profiles
• Assembly and repair of plastic panels and housings
• Automotive bodywork and interior trim repairs in restricted spaces
• General workshop and field maintenance where access is limited

Key specifications

• Tool type: manual side-entry blind rivet tool
• Overall length: 250 mm for extended reach and leverage
• Rivet compatibility: blind (pop) rivets for sheet materials
• Operation: manual hand lever action, no external power required
• Construction: metal body and working components designed for routine fastening tasks

How to use

Select a blind rivet of suitable diameter and material for the workpieces. Insert the rivet mandrel into the tool's nosepiece and position the rivet body in the pre-drilled hole. Squeeze the handles together until the mandrel breaks off and the rivet sets flush against the workpieces. Release the handles to allow the used mandrel to fall out or be removed, then prepare the next rivet. For consistent results, ensure the hole diameter matches the rivet specification and that the workpieces are properly aligned before setting the rivet.

Usošanas rekomendācijas

For prolonged use, periodically check and clean the nosepiece and jaws to remove mandrel fragments, and lubricate pivot points lightly to maintain smooth handle action. Use rivets appropriate for the base materials and avoid exceeding the tool’s recommended rivet diameter range to prevent premature wear.
