Description

Product Overview

The Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/4″ Lockbolt to Blind Rivet conversion tool (model 49-16-2661R) is engineered for professionals who demand speed, precision, and reliability in fastening applications. Constructed from high‑strength steel and finished in a rugged black coating, the tool resists corrosion and wear in demanding industrial environments. Powered by Milwaukee’s M18 battery platform, it delivers consistent torque without the need for external power cords, allowing you to work in confined or remote locations. The compact form factor—measuring just 9.09 x 7.4 x 2.4 inches and weighing 1.67 pounds—makes it easy to carry in a tool belt or pouch, while the ergonomic handle reduces fatigue during extended use. Included in the package is the conversion head that seamlessly attaches to a standard 1/4″ lockbolt, turning it into a blind rivet fastener in seconds.

This tool excels in a variety of industrial and scientific settings. Whether you are assembling metal frames, securing electrical enclosures, or performing maintenance on heavy machinery, the M18 Fuel conversion tool provides a quick, clean fastening solution. Its electric drive eliminates the manual effort required by traditional rivet guns, making it ideal for repetitive tasks on production lines. The tool’s battery‑powered operation ensures uninterrupted work on job sites without access to mains electricity, and the fast‑change conversion head allows you to switch between lockbolt and blind rivet modes in under a minute. Users in automotive repair, aerospace component assembly, and general manufacturing will find the tool especially valuable for its ability to reach tight spaces where larger equipment cannot fit.
