New lightweight POP® ProSet® 2500 Rivet Tool delivers heavyweight rivet setting power

The world leader in blind rivet technology has expanded its POP brand tool product line to include a new lightweight tool featuring unique ergonomic design and the ability to set all 3, 4, 5 and 6 size rivets, including high strength and stainless steel.

Emhart Teknologies has announced the launch of the new POP® ProSet® 2500 Rivet Tool. Designed specifically to set all 3, 4, 5 and 6 (2.4mm – 5.0mm) size blind rivets, including high strength and stainless steel, this new tool delivers 9.1 kN of pulling force at 6 bar, giving a class-leading force-to-weight ratio of 7 kN / kg.

The ProSet® 2500 rivet tool is the latest member of the POP® power rivet tool family and continues Emhart Teknologies’ ongoing effort to provide high performance, lightweight, easy to maintain fastening installation tools. The 2500 weighs only 1.30 kg with the Mandrel Collection System (MCS) and 1.20 kg without, yet can set any rivet up to 5.0 mm. It is only 290mm long and 259mm high and has a stroke of 18mm to ensure the setting of most rivets with one pull of the trigger.

The ProSet® 2500 also scores well on ergonomics with a strong yet lightweight polymer handle, a comfortable two-finger, low activation force trigger, a rounded grip and a directional air exhaust to keep air away from the user.
