The Cleaveland Hand Squeezer Story

All of the hand squeezers on the market today are a variation of the first version that was designed for “Rosie the Riveter” in WWII. At that time words like “ergonomics” or “carpal tunnel syndrome” were not in anyone’s vocabulary and no one cared. Our country was fighting for it’s life. But this is the 21st century. Quality materials, CAD design techniques, high speed prototyping, and computer controlled machining centers allow us to do what was never possible before. Cleaveland Aircraft Tool offers a 21st century version of the hand rivet squeezer! This new hand squeezer takes advantage of a different method of increasing mechanical advantage. Only a small amount of power needs to be applied to the handles. No more grunting and groaning. No more pectoral muscle cramps. You can now set 1/8″ rivets with minimal effort. If you have tried another squeezer, this squeezer will amaze you!
