Description

The 8″ Stroke Rivet Buster – Open Handle is designed for industrial professionals who need precision power in a lightweight, maneuverable package. With an 8″ stroke and a rapid 1,140 blows per minute, this pneumatic tool delivers high impact energy ideal for breaking rivets, bolts, anchors, and other heavy fasteners. Its shorter stroke length and faster blow rate make it ideal for controlled demolition or tasks requiring higher frequency impact and less tool travel.

Weighing just 30 lbs and measuring 22.5″ overall, this rivet buster provides exceptional operator control and portability. The open-handle (pistol-grip) design enhances maneuverability and allows users to maintain a comfortable working position — especially in tight or overhead applications.

The tool’s ½″ air inlet and 44 cfm air consumption at 90 psi integrate easily into standard industrial compressed air systems. Built for heavy use and designed to last, this tool’s robust construction and reliable performance make it a mainstay for demanding fabrication, maintenance, and demolition operations.
