Description
This heavy-duty pneumatic rivet buster is purpose-built for tough industrial applications. With an 8″ stroke length and high blow rate (1,140 bpm), it delivers serious impact force to break and remove large rivets, embedded anchors, structural bolts, and similar hard-to-reach connections. The 1-3/16″ bore ensures strong blow energy, while the 22.5″ overall length gives a longer reach and leverage in constrained or overhead spaces.
At 30 lbs, the tool strikes a balance between portability and brute force — rugged enough to handle heavy-duty jobsite demands while avoiding the extreme weight of demolition-sized breakers. The closed-handle design enhances operator control and durability, especially in high-vibration environments.
With a ½″ air inlet and 44 cfm at 90 psi, this rivet buster is compatible with standard industrial compressed-air setups, making it suitable for field repair crews, heavy fabrication shops, shipyards, rail maintenance, and structural demolition work. The recommended oil of SAE 10W-20 ensures longevity and smooth internal operation.

Rail or highway contractors engaged in dismantling or refurbishment operations
Operational Guidance
-
Use with a compressor or air supply rated for at least 44 cfm at 90 psi to maintain performance.
-
Regular lubrication (SAE 10W-20) is essential to maintain smooth internal operation and extend tool life.
-
Check the air hose and fittings for proper size and condition to avoid pressure drops.
-
Wear appropriate PPE — ear protection, eye protection and gloves — as high-impact tools generate noise and debris.
-
Inspect the tool after heavy use for wear or damage to ensure safe and reliable operation.
