The 0.498" shank is the bigger of the two standard shanks: it does not take the 0.401" sets used by the 2X, 3X and 4X. Buy 0.498" sets with it. A distributor describes it as for heavy-duty riveting and for knocking out stubborn pins.

It is the highest-rated gun in this list and the slowest, at 900 blows per minute; the 9X is rated lower. The rivet sizes themselves are on the AN470 page.
