Arrow Fastener One-Handed Swivel Rivet Tool — Fits 1/8–5/16 in Rivets, 360° Swivel Head & Long Nose

The Arrow Fastener RHT300 is a heavy-duty one-handed swivel rivet tool built to set 1/8", 3/16", and 5/16" pop rivets in tight corners, sheet metal, fabric, leather, and automotive panels.

Compact and engineered for reach, the RHT300 combines a 360-degree swivel head with a long nose and rugged all-steel construction so you can place blind rivets in cramped spaces where straight-body toolswon't fit. It accepts aluminum or steel Arrow pop rivets (sold separately) and includes four interchangeable nose pieces, a wrench for changing them, spring-loaded handles for faster loading, soft vinyl grips for comfort, and a handle lock for neat storage.

How does the swivel head improve access in tight spaces?

The 360-degree rotating head lets you angle the rivet nose without contorting your wrist or repositioning the workpiece. That flexibility makes rivets accessible around corners, inside assemblies, and in confined automotive or HVAC locations. The extended nose also reaches deeper-set holes than standard riveters.

• Full swivel head rotation to align with awkward angles.
• Extended nose for deeper, recessed holes.
• Compact body for tight-access jobs such as gutters and canvas work.

Which rivet sizes and materials work with this tool?

The RHT300 is made to install 1/8", 3/16", and 5/16" pop rivets in aluminum or steel. Choose 1/8" for light-duty panels, 3/16" for general construction and heavier sheet tasks, and 5/16" when you need larger shear strength. Always pick rivet material and size that match the substrates and load requirements of your project.

• 1/8" rivets: light-duty fabrics, thin metal, leather repairs.
• 3/16" rivets: gutters, HVAC, furniture, medium sheet-metal work.
• 5/16" rivets: heavier assemblies and higher-load applications.

What comfort and durability features speed up work?

Spring-loaded handles speed reloading by separating jaws after each set, while soft vinyl grips reduce hand fatigue during extended use. The tool's all-steel frame increases lifespan under jobsite conditions, and the anti-slip handle helps maintain control when setting tougher steel rivets.

• Spring-loaded handles for quicker, single-hand operation.
• Soft vinyl grips for extended comfort and reduced slip.
• All-steel construction for durability on frequent-use projects.

How do I change nosepieces and store the tool safely?

The RHT300 ships with four different nosepieces and a small wrench to swap them. Match the nose to the rivet diameter, secure with the wrench, and use the handle lock to keep the tool closed during storage. Tightening and switching take only a minute and no special tools besides the included wrench.

• Four nose pieces included for 1/8", 3/16", 5/16" and intermediate sizes.
• Included wrench makes nose changes fast on the job.
• Handle lock keeps the tool compact and safe in a toolbox.
