Rivet Buster
A rivet buster is a pneumatic hammer built for cutting rivets, bolts and light structural steel and for horizontal concrete work. Vikay supplies rivet busters from India in the classes corresponding to Atlas Copco TEX 14D, TEX 14P, TEX 15D and TEX 15P and Chicago Pneumatic CP 4181, CP 4608 and CP 4611.
A rivet buster is shaped for a job a
paving breaker cannot do: cutting horizontally into steel and concrete with the tool held level or overhead. The handle geometry and balance are what distinguish it, not just the weight.
It is used for shearing rivets and bolt heads in bridge and structural steel dismantling, cutting light plate, breaking concrete around embedded steel, and demolition work where a vertical breaker cannot be positioned.
The range corresponds to the Atlas Copco TEX 14D, TEX 14P, TEX 15D and TEX 15P, and the Chicago Pneumatic CP 4181D, CP 4181P, CP 4608D, CP 4608P, CP 4611D and CP 4611P. The D and P suffixes denote the handle and throttle configurations offered in each class.
