Stanley THT69800-8 Heavy Duty Riveter Set: Detailed Overview

The Stanley THT69800-8 Heavy Duty Riveter Set is a robust, professional-grade hand tool kit designed for secure fastening in metalworking, automotive repairs, construction, HVAC installations, and DIY projects, featuring a powerful manual riveter capable of setting aluminum, steel, and stainless steel pop rivets from 2.4 mm to 4.8 mm (3/32″ to 3/16″) in diameter and up to 6.4 mm (1/4″) grip range, ensuring strong, tamper-proof joints that withstand vibration and corrosion. Built with a durable die-cast alloy steel body for extended longevity and resistance to daily abuse, the riveter includes an ergonomic soft-grip handle that reduces hand strain during high-volume use, along with a spring-loaded tensioner for consistent mandrel pull and effortless ejection of spent stems, preventing jams and speeding up workflows on tasks like assembling trailers, gutters, or cabinetry.

This 8-piece set comes complete with the riveter tool plus seven interchangeable nose pieces (in sizes like 2.4 mm, 3.2 mm, 4.0 mm, and 4.8 mm) for versatile compatibility with various rivet types, stored conveniently in a molded plastic case for organized portability and protection against dust or impacts—measuring about 10 x 3 x 8 inches when packed. Weighing just 0.5-0.7 kg (1-1.5 lbs), it’s lightweight for one-handed operation yet delivers up to 1,000 lbs of pulling force, backed by Stanley’s 1-year limited warranty for reliability. Priced affordably at $15-25 USD, users rave about its value over pneumatic alternatives for occasional jobs, though it requires manual effort for larger rivets; for heavier production, consider power models. Overall, the THT69800-8 combines precision, ease of use, and comprehensive accessories into a compact solution that empowers users to achieve professional-grade results without the hassle of loose hardware.
