Blind rivet pliers NOVUS 058923, 290 mm, hand tool for blind rivets

NOVUS blind rivet pliers 058923 are a 290 mm manual hand tool designed to set blind (pop) rivets in places where access is limited or the joint is only accessible from one side. The pliers apply mechanical leverage to draw the rivet mandrel and form a secure bulbed head on the blind side, creating a durable clamp between sheets, metal parts and plastic components. The length and jaw design provide reach and control suitable for workshop, maintenance and assembly environments.

Advantages

The 290 mm length gives a balance of reach and leverage while remaining manageable for hand operation. The tool's mechanism produces consistent pulling force to deform rivets reliably without excessive user effort. Ergonomic handles reduce fatigue during repeated use and the hardened jaws are intended to grip rivet mandrels securely for clean, repeatable installations. The pliers are a compact option for mobile tool kits and fixed workstations alike.

Suitable for

• Setting blind rivets in sheet metal assemblies
• Joining plastic parts where only one-side access is available
• Maintenance and repair work in workshops or on-site
• Light to medium assembly tasks in HVAC, automotive trim and general fabrication

Key specifications

• Overall length: 290 mm
• Tool type: manual blind rivet pliers
• Operation: hand-actuated lever mechanism for setting blind rivets
• Designed for: use with common blind rivet sizes (hand rivet tool range)
• Construction: metal body with reinforced jaws and ergonomic handles

How to use

Select a blind rivet of appropriate size for the materials and hole diameter. Insert the rivet into the pre-drilled hole so the rivet body passes through the joint and the mandrel head is accessible. Fit the rivet mandrel into the pliers' nosepiece, squeeze the handles steadily to draw the mandrel until the rivet body expands and forms a secure head on the blind side, then continue until the mandrel snaps. Release the handles and remove the spent mandrel and tool. Inspect the formed head to ensure a firm clamp between joined parts.

Usage recommendations

Use rivet types and diameters matched to the materials being joined and ensure holes are clean and correctly sized. For repeated or high-volume work, check the tool's jaws and nosepiece for wear and replace worn parts as needed. Apply steady, controlled handle pressure rather than sudden force to avoid misforming rivets. Store the pliers dry and clean to prevent corrosion and maintain operation.
