Hand Rivet Squeezer Ths-15 | 1-1/4" Gap x 1-1/2" Reach and 3/16 set hole | 12-00300 |
This tool was designed and built as a portable low cost solution for both small and large aerospace applications. It is made of aerospace grade stainless steel and heat treated on all wear and deflecting components to 38/42 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale. A large variety of interchangeable yokes are available with ranges from as small as 1.00" to 6.00" reach. It has proven itself over the years as a portable rugged solution, for light to medium duty, rivet squeezing applications. |
I’ve had four rivet squeezers over the course of my project. I have the 3” throat version, but needed a 1” version for some tight places. I considered buying just the anvil “head” but decided I would be unlikely to change it out when needed, so I bought the complete tool. Good decision. I use the best tool for the situation

expensive, but my experience with them led me to purchase another. Received a defective item and had to pay return shipping on it.....essentially overpaying for this item. Not thrilled about that.....but the squeezer sent the second time is great

I got the 3 reach (THS-30) and while it works great, gets everywhere I need it to, sometimes the jaws need a gentle nudge to retract back open. I suspect its just a very low-tolerance tool and will loosen up a little with time, but that was a minor annoyance for me. Also worth mentioning, it does not come with any yokes (hard points for the jaws) so you will need to buy those separately. Not a complaint at all, just something to note.
