Its internal gearing and double compound hinge translate hand force into greater pulling power while a one-piece collet case removes the hassle of readjusting the tool when switching rivet sizes. The 1423 ships with five interchangeable nosepieces to handle common rivet diameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 1423 produce more pulling force with less effort?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1423 uses a patented internal geared mechanism combined with a double compound hinge to multiply hand force.
