Dewalt DCF403B 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless 3/16″ Rivet Tool – Tool Only

The DEWALT DCF403B 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless 3/16″ Rivet Tool is designed for tradespeople who need fast, repeatable blind rivet installation without dragging hoses or cords across the jobsite. Powered by a brushless motor, it delivers up to 2,100 lbf (10,000 N) of pulling force, giving it the strength to handle aluminum, steel, and stainless steel blind rivets up to 3/16″. With the ability to pull up to 800 rivets per charge (battery sold separately), this cordless rivet tool helps keep production moving on construction sites, in metal fabrication shops, and in industrial maintenance work.

A compact, handheld layout and integrated mandrel collector help keep work areas cleaner and more organized, especially when working overhead or in tight spaces. Tool-free nose piece changes and on-board nose piece storage let users switch between 3/32″, 1/8″, 5/32″, and 3/16″ rivets in seconds, without hunting for extra wrenches. Paired with the DEWALT 20V MAX battery platform, the DCF403B gives crews a powerful, portable solution for installing blind rivets where compressed air is not practical or corded tools are inconvenient.
