The 3000C is a lightweight, single-cylinder handheld compression tool built for riveting and captive hardware insertion. It delivers strong squeeze force in a tool that is easy to handle, making it a practical choice for everyday production work.

Beyond riveting and hardware insertion, the 3000C can also be used for swaging and staking. It is available with a wide range of interchangeable C yokes, which are also compatible with our 6000C.

The GP Tools 3000C Pneumatic Riveter (also widely known as the General Pneumatic "C" Squeeze) is a lightweight, single-cylinder handheld pneumatic rivet squeezer manufactured in the USA. It is engineered primarily for precision riveting, inserting captive hardware, staking, and swaging.

Because it uses a quiet, smooth mechanical squeeze action rather than an impact hammering motion, it delivers highly repeatable, uniform results independent of operator skill level. This makes it a staple tool in aerospace, sheet metal fabrication, and light production environments.
