Chicago Pneumatic Blind Nut Riveter | CP9888 | M12 (mm) Rivet Size

Designed for installing blind rivet nuts where a threaded connection is needed in sheet metal and other assemblies, the Chicago Pneumatic CP9888 Blind Nut Riveter handles rivet nuts from M3 to M12. Its pneumatic setting mechanism automatically threads and unthreads the rivet nut, while the tool applies axial force to set the insert in the workpiece. The 1–7 mm adjustable setting stroke allows the stroke to be adapted to the rivet nut and material, supporting repeatable installation across different applications

The CP9888 combines an 11.02" length, 4.85 lb net weight, and 2.8 CFM air consumption at load in a pneumatic nut-riveting design. A large rear reverse switch provides manual correction when required, while the flexible air connection can rotate through 360° to help accommodate hose positioning. The tool uses an aluminum body with a composite over-sleeve and includes an accessory kit with 7 mouthpieces for its supported rivet-nut range.
