Metabo NP 18 LTX BL 5.0 (619002890) 18V Cordless Blind Rivet Gun

Key specs include: 18V cordless operation, up to about 5.0 Nm of torque, two-speed gearbox, LED work light, rubber grip handle, quick-release rivet nose system, and a safety lock to avoid accidental triggering.

The tool uses standard blind rivets and supports rivet sizes within the nosepiece range. To switch sizes, ensure the tool is off, detach the current nosepiece using the quick-release mechanism, and attach the appropriate nosepiece for the rivet diameter you’re using.

1) Select and install the correct rivet nosepiece for your rivet size. 2) Load the rivet into the nozzle. 3) Position the rivet in the assembly and squeeze the trigger to set the rivet. 4) Release and repeat as needed. Use the safety lock when not actively riveting to prevent accidental firing.

It’s well suited for metal fabrication, automotive repairs, sheet metal work, airframes, cabinetry, and any task requiring fast, secure rivet fastening without a power cord.

The two-speed gearbox lets you adapt to different materials and rivet sizes. Use the higher speed for lighter materials and smaller rivets to maximize speed, and switch to the lower speed for tougher materials or larger rivets to maintain control and prevent premature wear.

Always wear eye protection and gloves. Use the tool with the safety lock engaged when not in use to avoid accidental firing. Keep hair, clothing, and loose items away from the mechanism and ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before riveting.

Yes, it is designed to run on Metabo 18V LTX batteries. For best runtime and performance, pair it with a high-capacity Metabo 18V battery and an appropriate charger from the same battery system.

Keep the tool clean and dry, wipe with a dry cloth after use, and store with the battery removed. Periodically inspect the nosepieces for wear and replace as needed. Avoid introducing liquids into the mechanism and do not use excessive force on the trigger.
