How To Choose The Right Cordless Battery Rivet Nut Installation Tool!
Cordless Battery Rivet Nut Tools Overview
What are the differences between each model?
The Bollhoff branded cordless battery rivet nut tools have quickly emerged as the top choice for production teams seeking a balance of power, portability, safety, and performance. These cordless systems are redefining the standards for efficiency and precision, delivering the strength of pneumatic tools without the limitations of air hoses or power cords. Rivet Nut USA™, a division of Cardinal Components, Inc., stocks all three cordless battery rivet nut install tools manufactured by Bollhoff, the industry leader in rivet nut tooling. Each has their own benefits and special features. We can help you make the right choice for your assembly line!
What are battery operated rivet nut installation tools?
Unlike traditional manual or pneumatic options, battery-powered rivet nut tools utilize rechargeable batteries to deliver consistent torque and streamlined operation. Their cordless design not only enhances mobility but also simplifies setup and use—making them ideal for on-site applications, tight spaces, and fast-paced production environments.
Battery powered tools prove to be the best option for allowing the user portability without an external power source and limitations to location due to a cord. Increased efficiency is achieved through the speed and various settings of these tools. And probably one of the biggest advantages is a significant increase in worker safety which reduces operator injury. These tools reduce user fatigue and eliminate cords in the assembly area, lowering the risk of tripping. Read our case study on how the B4090 reduced worker injury for one manufacturer!
As the demand for cordless innovation in rivet nut tooling grew, Bollhoff refined their original tool (B2007). They introduced two second-generation tooling options (NEO B107 and NEO B109), with additional features.
