Description
Description
High quality ergonomic bucking bar rivet blocks designed to prevent repetitive motion injury while riveting. Enjoy easier, better riveting that studies show will result in less wrist strain and fatigue. All Midwest Tungsten Service (MTS) bars are made of our signature tungsten alloy blend, offering the maximum density available with great durability.
This alloy is more than twice as dense as other steel bucking bars. A higher density reduces vibration and kick back while riveting. It also allows for a smaller bar and therefore more versatility and ability to fit in small areas.

Frequently asked questions
Why use a tungsten bucking bar instead of steel?
Why use a tungsten bucking bar instead of steel?
The MT-18F alloy is more than twice as dense as steel, so you get the same bucking mass in a much smaller bar. Higher density reduces vibration and kickback while riveting, and the smaller size lets the bar fit into areas a steel bar can't reach. Studies show the result is less wrist strain and fatigue.
What alloy is the bar made of?
What alloy is the bar made of?
Midwest Tungsten Service's signature MT-18F tungsten heavy alloy — 95% tungsten with a nickel-iron balance. It offers the maximum density available along with great durability.

Is tungsten safe to handle all day?
Is tungsten safe to handle all day?
Yes. Solid tungsten alloy is inert — not radioactive and not toxic in solid form.
Who uses tungsten bucking bars?
Who uses tungsten bucking bars?
Professional riveters in aircraft work. A university study on the ergonomic benefits of tungsten bucking bars backs up what the pros already know: higher density makes for easier, better riveting.
