Cordless rivet gun 18 V LXT makpac DRV150ZJ

Performance and Precision in Tight Spaces

The cordless rivet gun DRV150ZJ is a tool designed for professional applications where speed and access to hard-to-reach areas are critical. With a nose height of only 26 mm, the device allows for comfortable rivet setting even right against a wall or in tight recesses where traditional manual rivet guns cannot operate effectively. The brushless (BLDC) motor not only extends the tool's lifespan but also delivers a constant pulling force of 10 000 N, which is crucial when working with harder materials.

The tool handles a wide range of blind rivet diameters from 2.4 mm to 4.8 mm (jaws for all these sizes are included in the set). Notably, when using a 5.0 Ah battery (e.g., BL1850B), it is possible to set approximately 2300 steel rivets of 4.8 mm diameter on a single charge. This solution eliminates the need to constantly interrupt work for battery replacement or recharging during large assembly jobs.

Work Comfort and Protection Against External Conditions

The rivet gun's design considers ergonomics and safety for use in demanding construction environments. The housing features XPT (Xtreme Protection Technology), meaning enhanced resistance to dust and moisture—the tool withstands construction site conditions better than standard models. An additional advantage is the rivet-holding mechanism, which prevents the rivet from falling out even when the operator works with the tool head pointing downwards.

Visualization of the working area is facilitated by a dual LED light with delayed shut-off, allowing precise head positioning before pulling the trigger. Used mandrels are collected in a transparent container, maintaining order around the work zone and simplifying material consumption monitoring. The tool weighs approximately 1.9 kg (with low-capacity batteries) or 2.2 kg (with larger batteries), which, while maintaining good balance, does not excessively strain the operator's hand during long assembly sessions.

Application and System Compatibility

The device is compatible with the entire Makita LXT 18 V battery system, supporting cells with capacities from 2 Ah to 6 Ah. However, please note an important limitation: the rivet gun does not work with older G-series batteries (such as BL1811G, BL1813G, or BL1815G), which lack built-in communication electronics. This is a standard requirement for newer brushless models requiring precise motor control.

The tool is supplied in a durable MAKPAC TYPE 3 system case along with all essential starting components: a set of jaws for rivets with diameters 2.4 / 3.2 / 4.0 / 4.8 mm (manufacturer code 199731-7), a belt clip for mounting on a tool belt, and maintenance lubricant. The entire package is fitted with a custom-shaped insert for safe transport and storage.

It is worth remembering the key technical features influencing tool selection: operating voltage is 18 V, and pulling force reaches 10 000 N. Stroke length is 25 mm, enabling effective rivet setting in thicknesses requiring greater reach. A nose height of 26 mm guarantees accessibility in tight spaces. When using a BL1850B battery, it is possible to set approximately 2300 pieces of steel rivets with a diameter of 4.8 mm. The tool's weight varies depending on the power source used—from about 1.9 kg to 2.2 kg.

Batteries and charger are not included in the set—the device is sold as a "body only" version, allowing flexible use of existing LXT system batteries or purchase of only the necessary starting components. This makes the solution economical both for companies already owning a Makita machine park and for new users planning to invest in the entire tool ecosystem.
