Why Shops Choose It Repeatable, screen-verified riveting force on every pull.The SPR-5-DFC is built for shops that want digital control and documentation of riveting force, with push-button selection, real-time readout, preset recall, and computerized protection against over-pressure.
| Included Kit Core equipment included with the SPR-5-DFC.The SPR-5-DFC package includes the main cordless digital rivet gun and the standard items needed to support common collision repair riveting applications.
|
Built for the Repair Floor Cordless freedom with digital precision.The battery-powered design allows technicians to work around vehicles, structural components, quarter panels, pillars, and difficult access areas without managing an air hose or separate hydraulic power unit — while the digital screen confirms the correct force is being applied on every rivet. |  |
Riveting and Repair Applications
The SPR-5-DFC supports a wide range of collision repair riveting, removal, forming, and panel-preparation operations. Always use the correct die configuration, pressure setting, arm, and current OEM repair procedure.
 Self-Piercing RivetsSupports controlled SPR installation where the repair procedure calls for panel fastening without conventional pre-drilling. |  Solid RivetsInstall supported solid rivets using the proper punch, die, pressure setting, material stack, and repair procedure. |  Rivet RemovalSupports controlled rivet removal using the correct male and female die combination for the rivet and repair area. |
 Flow-Form RivetsSupports flow-form and countersunk FFR rivet applications when paired with the correct dies and repair specifications. |  Calibrating PunchSupports calibrating punch and panel-hole preparation work using the correct matched punch-and-die configuration. |  FlatteningMatched flattening dies can be used to prepare or flatten supported panel areas as required by the repair process. |

Dies • Rivets • Consumables Standard die support for real collision repair work.The SPR-5-DFC uses the same die system as the standard CH-SPR-5. The standard die kit supports self-piercing rivets, solid rivets, flattening, flow-form rivets, rivet removal, and punching applications. Always match the die set, pressure setting, arm configuration, and rivet to the current OEM repair procedure. |
Digital Operation & Pressure Control
The SPR-5-DFC replaces manual guesswork with digital force control: select a force, watch it in real time, and recall preset modes for repeatable results across the shop.
1 Push-Button Pressure SelectionSet the required riveting force digitally with push-button controls, removing the guesswork of manual pressure adjustment. | 2 Real-Time LCD Display & LED LightMonitor applied pressure in real time on the digital screen, with a built-in LED work light illuminating the repair area. | 3 Preset Modes & ProtectionRecall nine adjustable preset modes for repeatable setups, backed by computerized pressure protection against over-pressure. |
CH-SPR-5 vs SPR-5-DFC
Both guns share the same cordless “click-in” battery platform, quick-change arms, and magnetic post-style die system. The SPR-5-DFC adds digital force control, on-screen feedback, adjustable preset modes, and higher output for shops that need documented, repeatable riveting.

Air-Over-Hydraulic Alternative Prefer a traditional 10-ton air-hydraulic rivet gun?Some collision repair facilities prefer an air-over-hydraulic riveting system based on workflow, technician preference, existing compressed-air infrastructure, OEM requirements, or the need for higher clamping force. CRTE also offers the GYS GYSPRESS 10T, providing up to 10 tons of riveting pressure with a complete professional kit and protective storage case. View GYS 10T Rivet Gun → |
