Features

 

An efficient riveting system consists of a shock-reduced bucking bar with shock-reduced riveting hammers.

 

 

• Self-adjustable – SA models feature a self-adjusting shock-reducing system with compressed air supply. SP models utilize a spring as a shock-reducing element and, consequently, do not require an air supply.
• Flexible – The bucking bars can be fitted with several different interchangeable dolly configurations via a quick-change retainer for maximum flexibility.
