633 Rivet Buster

M633

The APT Model M633 rivet buster measures only 20 - 5/8" in length, delivering more power to those tight spaces. Weighing just 28 lbs, it's perfect for limited access work or whenever a compact, lightweight, and powerful tool fits the bill. The tool features an innovative cylinder design that reduces overall weight without compromising the tool's strength or hitting force.

M133

The APT Model M133 rivet buster, or a jumbo rivet buster as it is known, was originally designed to cut rivets off metal structures. At half the weight of the 60 lb class paving breakers, the ratio of its high-impact energy versus its weight makes the rivet buster series the most efficient tool produced by APT. Model 133 meets the weight requirements for bridge deck repair work and ensures ergonomic use by the operator.
