The Tamco/Toku CORB series is a line of American-made rivet busters built in 6, 8 and 11 in. strokes, manufactured domestically by American craftsmen using high-quality U.S.-made components – the tool to specify when a job requires an American-made tool for Buy USA projects. All three share a 1-3/16 in. bore, a 1/2 in. air inlet and jumbo 11X steel, so the only decision is how much reach you need per blow.

Each is a closed-nose design with a replaceable piston bridge, which keeps it highly repairable, and the series follows the APT-style build with 99% parts compatibility – the same architecture as the APT 133. The 6 in. TAMCORB-633 is the lightest at 27.5 lb and cycles fastest at 1,100 BPM on 26 to 29 CFM; the 8 in. TAMCORB-133 is the workhorse stroke at 30 lb and 960 BPM; the 11 in. TAMCORB-1133 trades speed for reach at 34 lb and 850 BPM. They handle bridge-deck repair, vertical and horizontal concrete demolition, busting rivets and bolts, and underground tank work.

CORB Series FAQ

Which stroke should I buy?
The 8 in. TAMCORB-133 is the most commonly specified rivet-buster stroke and meets bridge-deck weight requirements. Go to the 6 in. 633 for tight access and the lightest tool in the line; go to the 11 in. 1133 when you need maximum reach and energy per blow.

Are CORB parts interchangeable with APT?
Yes. The series follows the APT-style build with 99% parts compatibility, and Crowder Supply stocks service parts for both in Denver.

What steel does it take?
Jumbo 11X rivet buster steel. Crowder Supply carries the full range: cup chisels, narrow and side-cut chisels, moil points, backout punches and rippers.

Is this tool Buy America compliant?
The CORB series is made in the USA by American craftsmen using high-quality U.S.-made components, which is why it is specified on Buy USA projects.
