Hand Lever Press Foot Pedal Linkage

The foot pedal linkage for the #3990-00 hand press transfers the effort from your hands to your foot. Setting stainless steel rivets is hard work - it puts strain on your wrist, and the results may not always be consistent. You apply force with your foot, leaving both hands free for precise material positioning.

When does it make the most sense in your workshop?

• Both hands free: No more holding the product with one hand while balancing the press lever with the other. Keep full control of your material and operate the press comfortably with your foot.
• Less effort with tough materials: The foot pedal acts as a powerful lever. It makes setting hard stainless steel rivets smooth and requires far less physical effort than doing it by hand.
• Less fatigue during large batches: Your arm won't tire out during long production runs. Maintain the same speed and accuracy from the first piece to the last.
• Fully adjustable: The linkage length can be easily adjusted to match your press position and workbench height.

Compatibility and dimensions

The unit comes pre-assembled and ready to attach to your press lever. While designed for the hand press in our range, many customers successfully install it on other models. Please verify these technical specs before purchasing:

• Standard length: Supplied assembled at approximately 94 cm.
• Shackle inside width: Approximately 28.6 mm (for lever attachment).
• Shackle pin diameter: Approximately 7.82 mm. The hole in your press lever must be at least this wide. (Our press features a 9 mm hole.)
• Under-table clearance: Ensure you have enough unobstructed space beneath your workbench for the pedal and linkage to move freely.

Note: For safe and proper operation of the foot pedal linkage, the hand press must be securely bolted to the workbench.
