Introducing the high-capacity PT-4500, a cordless blind riveter

By Michelle Froese | February 24, 2022

Powered by a slide on 18 VDC Li-Ion battery pack with fuel gage, the PT-4500 brushless motor drives a mechanical ball-screw gear system that performs even for demanding applications.

The higher capacity PT-4500 cordless blind riveter, available from Fastening Systems International Inc. (FSI), offers the sheet metal technician the capability for installation of most all 1/4-inch diameter blind rivets.

FSI is a premium supplier of blind fasteners and blind rivet installation tools, including rivet guns, rivet nuts, pop rivets, and more. The company also FSI manufactures many of its own rivet installation tool kits.

The PT-4500-MIL-1 is a logical addition for any organization that typically requires1/4-inch diameter blind rivet ability. The standard PT-4500 pulling head assembly (jaws, jaw holder, and nose tube) is interchangeable with any of the FSI riveters (D-100, D-180, D-700C, PT-100, PT-3000, and PT-4000), offering redundancy and reduced spare parts inventory levels.

With its rapid extended stroke capability, the tool is comparable to most all air-operated riveters, optimizing cycle time between any blind rivet installation. Weighing less than five pounds, with the standard nose assembly in place, sheet-metal artisans will find this riveter offers the excellent performance and reliability.

Additionally, both aerospace and industrial quality blind rivets are installable with the PT-4500 — which include but are not limited to, CherryMax (M7885), nut-plate rivets, self-plugging rivets (MS20600), CherryMax “A” (NAS1400A), Avdel MBC (NAS1722L), Avdel Interlock and Huck Magna-Lok (M7885/10), Avdel Monobolts, Avdel Avex, and standard Pop type rivets (MIL-R24243). The kit includes special patented rotating adapters for CherryMax and Olympic-Lok pulling heads.

The riveter is powered by a slide-on 18 VDC Li-Ion battery pack with fuel gage, the PT-4500 brushless motor drives a mechanical ball-screw gear system that provides capability for the most demanding applications.

The PT-4500 Kit includes the tool, one battery pack, and a dual-voltage battery charger. A variety of nosepieces are available to meet specific customer needs.
