Blind rivet tool GESIPA NTX-F for 2.4–5 mm rivets, 260 mm length

GESIPA NTX-F is a hand-operated blind rivet tool engineered for setting aluminium and steel blind rivets with diameters from 2.4 mm to 5 mm. With a total length of 260 mm, the tool delivers increased leverage to reduce user effort while ensuring consistent mandrel break-off and secure joint formation. The design supports repeated installations in workshop and field environments where reliable blind rivet fastening is required.

Advantages

The tool offers a combination of mechanical advantage and compact length that makes it suitable for confined workspaces while still providing sufficient pulling force for a wide range of rivet sizes. Its construction aims to provide repeatable performance for multi-material assemblies, reducing installation variability and improving joint integrity. Ergonomic considerations in the handle design help reduce operator fatigue during extended use.

Suitable for

• Metal fabrication and sheet metal joining
• HVAC duct assembly and repair
• Automotive bodywork and trim fastening
• General maintenance and assembly tasks
• Field repair and on-site installations

Key specifications

• Rivet diameter range: 2.4–5.0 mm
• Tool length: 260 mm (overall)
• Operation: manual hand tool with mechanical leverage
• Compatible rivet materials: aluminium, steel, and common blind rivet alloys
• Typical applications: blind rivet setting in thin to medium sheet materials

How to use

Select a rivet within the 2.4–5.0 mm diameter range appropriate for the materials being joined. Insert the rivet into the prepared hole, place the rivet head against the workpiece, and position the tool’s nosepiece over the rivet mandrel. Squeeze the handles evenly until the mandrel breaks and the rivet flange clamps the parts together. Release the tool and remove the spent mandrel. For consistent results, verify hole size and material thickness before installation.

Recommendations

Use nosepieces and mandrels matched to the selected rivet diameter. Inspect the tool regularly for wear on the nosepiece and jaws, and replace worn components to maintain reliable mandrel break-off and joint quality. When working with painted or coated surfaces, protect the work area to prevent surface damage during installation.
