Riveting hammer YATO YT-4502 — steel head, steel handle, 28 cm handle length, 200 g

YATO YT-4502 is a compact riveting hammer designed for installing and setting rivets in light to medium duty applications. The tool combines a steel head and a steel handle in a balanced 200 g construction with a 28 cm handle length, providing a firm feel and controlled striking for metalworking, construction fittings and general repair tasks.

Advantages

The steel head delivers consistent impact force and resists deformation during repeated use, while the one-piece steel handle increases durability and reduces the risk of breakage under load. At 200 g and with a 28 cm handle, the hammer offers a compact profile that improves maneuverability in tight spaces and enables controlled strikes for accurate rivet setting. Supplied individually, the tool is ready for immediate use without additional assembly.

Suitable for

• Installing and setting blind and solid rivets in sheet metal and light structural parts
• Fitting and adjusting metalwork in construction and HVAC applications
• General workshop and repair tasks where precise, low‑mass striking is required
• Work in confined or hard-to-reach locations due to the compact handle length

Key specifications

• Head material: steel
• Handle material: steel (one-piece construction)
• Overall handle length: 28 cm
• Tool weight: 200 g
• Tool type: riveting hammer for manual rivet setting
• Pack quantity: single piece

How to use

Hold the riveting hammer by the handle with a comfortable grip and position the rivet in the pre-drilled hole. Align the head with the rivet mandrel and apply controlled strikes until the rivet sets and secures the materials. Use short, accurate blows rather than heavy, uncontrolled swings to avoid damaging thin materials. Inspect the rivet and surrounding area after each set to ensure a flush and secure finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the riveting hammer with appropriately sized rivets and pre-drilled holes. Wear eye protection when striking, and check the head and handle regularly for signs of wear or deformation. For repeated or heavy riveting tasks, consider using dedicated riveting tools to reduce operator fatigue and increase process speed.
