Blind rivet nut pliers

Blind rivet nut pliers serve to join metal, plastic and composite materials using rivets with diameters from 2.4 to 6.4 mm or rivet nuts with threads from M3 to M12 without welding or bolts. The product group includes standard rivet pliers that pull the rivet mandrel through the hole to expand the head inside, and rivet nut pliers that create internal threads for screws later. Codes such as 1249900, 1639800 and 0110400 represent small and medium hand pliers, while 2338300 serves large rivets up to 6.4 mm. In addition, 3675900, 3675800 and 5833700 provide rivet nut solutions for electrical cabinets and cable trays. Vinatools distributes genuine GESIPA, RIVIT and ELORA products with warranty, supporting electricians, installers and maintenance technicians to select the right size according to their needs.

Blind rivet nut pliers serve to create secure connections between metal sheets, plastic sheets or composite materials by pulling the rivet mandrel through a pre-drilled hole to form a fixed joint. This product group includes rivet pliers and rivet nut pliers, each meeting a different range of diameters or threads. Rivet pliers typically work with diameters from 2.4 mm to 6.4 mm, while rivet nut pliers serve threads from M3 to M12.

The operating mechanism relies on hand squeezing force or turning a knob to pull the rivet mandrel, expanding the rivet head inside the hole and holding the two surfaces tightly together. Codes such as 1249900, 1639800 and 0110400 represent small and medium rivet pliers, while 2338300 serves large rivets up to 6.4 mm. In addition, codes 3675900, 3675800 and 5833700 provide rivet nut pulling solutions for applications requiring internal threads or the ability to disassemble later. This product group supports electricians, cable tray installers, maintenance technicians and repair technicians in quick joining without welding or bolts.

Classification by function

Blind rivet nut pliers are divided into two main groups based on the type of rivet used. The first group includes standard rivet pliers, which pull the mandrel through the hole to expand the rivet head and create a fixed joint. The second group includes rivet nut pliers, which pull the threaded mandrel to expand the nut inside the hole and create internal threads for bolts or screws later. Each group serves a distinct technical need in assembly and maintenance.

Rivet pliers work with diameters from 2.4 mm to 6.4 mm, suitable for many alloys such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel and copper. Codes 0112300 and 0112200 from GESIPA serve ranges of 2.4 mm to 4.0 mm and 2.4 mm to 4.8 mm, where the 4.8 mm size in code 0112200 is only for aluminum and copper rivets. Code 1249900 has a handle return spring, allowing one-hand operation and automatic opening after each squeeze, weighing 510 g and 260 mm long. Code 1639800 has no return spring, is 255 mm long and weighs 570 g, compact for carrying in a tool bag. Code 0110400 has a 340 mm long handle for greater leverage, weighs 800 g, and can pull steel and stainless steel rivets up to 4.8 mm. Code 2338300 is 530 mm long, weighs 1.87 kg, serves rivets from 3.0 mm to 6.4 mm including stainless steel, used with two hands when compressed air is not available.

Rivet nut pliers work with threads from M3 to M12, creating internal threads for bolts or screws after installation. Code 3675900 pulls rivet nuts M3 to M6, has a 340 mm long handle, and comes with M3, M4 and M5 threaded nosepieces in a plastic bag. Code 3675800 pulls M3 to M10, has a 540 mm long handle for high clamping force at M10 size, weighs 2.2 kg including metal case with six threaded nosepieces M3, M4, M5, M6, M8 and M10. Code 5833700 pulls M3 to M10, M12 size for aluminum and steel rivet nuts, is 390 mm long, weighs 1.4 kg, and comes with seven threaded nosepieces from M3 to M12. Code 5078000 uses a knob mechanism instead of a squeeze handle, pulls Rivsert female rivet nuts M5 to M12 and Rivbolt male rivet nuts M5 to M8, with the upper hand holding the tool and the lower hand turning the knob to press.

Size and weight

The length of blind rivet nut pliers ranges from 205 mm to 530 mm, directly affecting pulling force and the ability to operate in tight spaces. Short pliers under 220 mm are suitable for tool bags and one-hand operation, while long pliers over 340 mm provide greater leverage for large rivets or hard materials. Weight from 480 g to 2.2 kg reflects the structure and load-bearing capacity of each code.

Code 5126200 is 205 mm long and weighs 500 g, the most compact in the RIVIT hand pliers line, pulls rivets 2.4 mm to 4.8 mm, suitable for maintenance technicians to carry in their bags.

Code 0112300 is 270 mm long, 72 mm wide, weighs 480 g, the lightest in the group, suitable for electricians and cable tray installers. Code 0112200 is 260 mm long, 85 mm wide, pulls rivets 2.4 mm to 4.8 mm. Code 5126400 is 205 mm long, weighs 535 g, comes with four threaded nosepieces M3, M4, M5 and M6, the most compact in the rivet nut pliers line.

Medium-sized pliers from 255 mm to 340 mm balance pulling force and portability. Code 1249900 is 260 mm long, weighs 510 g, has a handle return spring. Code 1639800 is 255 mm long, weighs 570 g, no return spring. Code 0110400 is 340 mm long, weighs 800 g, can pull steel and stainless steel rivets up to 4.8 mm.

Accessories and threaded nosepiece sets

Rivet nut pliers typically come with a set of threaded nosepieces to change thread sizes without purchasing additional accessories. The number of threaded nosepieces in the set ranges from three to seven pieces, covering thread ranges from M3 to M12 depending on the code. Threaded nosepieces attach to the plier head by threads or quick-clamp mechanism, allowing technicians to switch between rivet nut sizes within the same project.

Code 3675900 comes with three threaded nosepieces M3, M4 and M5 in a plastic bag, serving electrical cabinets and thin sheets. Code 5126400 comes with four threaded nosepieces M3, M4, M5 and M6 in a case, sufficient for small rivet nuts on machine housings.

Code 5833700 comes with seven threaded nosepieces M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10 and M12, the most complete in the group, supporting both aluminum and steel rivet nuts. Code 5078000 uses a knob mechanism so does not need separate threaded nosepieces, only requires flipping the reversing lever and turning the knob to press.

Applications in installation and maintenance

Blind rivet nut pliers serve many industries from electrical, mechanical, construction to automotive repair and electrical cabinets. Electricians use rivet pliers to attach cable trays, junction boxes and cover plates to walls or steel frames without welding. Assembly technicians use rivet nut pliers to create internal threads on thin sheets, allowing bolts or screws to be installed later when disassembly is needed. Repair technicians use compact pliers to replace damaged rivets on machine housings or vehicle frames.

Code 5078000 uses a knob mechanism, pulls Rivsert female rivet nuts M5 to M12 and Rivbolt male rivet nuts M5 to M8, suitable for assembly technicians requiring precise clamping force control.

Selection by diameter and thread

Rivet diameter or thread size determines the appropriate plier code. Small rivets from 2.4 mm to 4.0 mm are used for thin sheets, electrical cabinets and machine housings, while large rivets from 4.8 mm to 6.4 mm serve steel frames, steel structures and high-load applications. Small rivet nuts from M3 to M6 suit electronics and thin sheets, while large rivet nuts from M8 to M12 serve mechanical and machine frame assembly.
