Rivet Busters
Rivet busters were developed to install and remove steel rivets from large structures. Their exceptional hitting power enables them to cut through and remove even the toughest rivets. The concrete industry noticed and adopted the rivet buster for rapid concrete breaking and removal. With high power and low weight, rivet busters are a great addition or alternative to a T-handled paving breaker. Both the 8" and 11" stroke rivet busters weigh under 35 pounds yet pack a similar hitting force to a 60lb paving breaker. The outside trigger "P" handle works best for chipping horizontal surfaces while the inside trigger "D" handle is great for vertical and overhead work. A "T" handled rivet buster is also available where the operator prefers a two handed grip for chipping a horizontal surface.
