Ingco Hand Riveter 17 HR171 420mm for 3.2-4.8mm Rivets

Our review

This is a long-handled hand riveter from Ingco, listed as the 17 HR171. The 420mm overall length and rubber hand grip are the details that matter most here, because a tool this size is built to give you more leverage than a compact riveter, which helps when you are pulling larger rivets or working through a long run of them. It takes 3.2mm, 4mm and 4.8mm rivets, so it covers the common sizes used for sheet metal, gutters, ducting, vehicle panels and general fabrication work. The body is described as steel and aluminium, and it comes packed in a colour box. Before buying, check which rivet sizes your job actually needs and whether the nose pieces supplied match them, since a riveter is only useful if it fits your rivets. Also think about access: a 420mm tool needs room to swing, so for tight corners a shorter riveter may suit you better, while for volume work the extra length is an advantage. Compare handle grip comfort, rivet size range and build material against other hand riveters in the same class. It is available on Sokonia.
