Exhibits
The KARAT HR-11 Professional Hand Riveter is a Taiwan-origin model HR-11 with an auto-ejection design, high-strength aluminum body, and a forged-steel upper handle with advanced heat treatment. The HR-11 also uses PAHs-Free non-toxic plastic hand grips and supports blind-rivet capacities of 2.4 mm, 3.0/3.2 mm, 4.0 mm, and 4.8/5.0 mm. Its inch-based blind-rivet capacities are 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", and 3/16". Related professional hand-riveter models include LT-22 and LT-12 lazy-tong riveters, LR-series long- and short-handle riveters, RHR-2 and RHR-360 360° ratchet-head riveters, and HR-9 with a 360° swivel head. The wider HR series includes HR-6, HR-12, HR-16, HR-17, HR-27, HR-28, HR-29, HR-30, and HR-4, with HR-17 and HR-29 identified as smart power-saving hand riveters. Beyond hand riveters, KARAT supplies pneumatic-hydraulic riveters, rivet nut tools, and lockbolt tools to professional importers and manufacturers. Rivet Nut Tools form a dedicated product family alongside Pneumatic-Hydraulic Riveters and Lockbolt Tools. KARAT's strict QA system and its RoHS, REACH SVHC, and CE compliance statements apply to the professional riveting-tool range described by the company. The portfolio therefore combines manual, industrial, pneumatic-hydraulic, rivet-nut, and lockbolt tooling with model-specific hand-riveter designs and stated compliance controls. Several LR models are identified as PAT. products, and the range includes both long-handle and short-handle configurations for different manual-riveting formats. The product-showcase list also repeats HR-11, HR-4, HR-30, HR-29, HR-28, HR-27, HR-17, and HR-16 as featured models, reinforcing the depth of the professional hand-riveter line.
