Review : One of the best purchases I have made in years!

"I pop rivet almost every day at my job. Not an enormous amount (maybe 100-200/week), but almost every day. Hand riveters are so inexpensive and fairly easy to use, but I have struggled with them not breaking off the mandrel at the head and also just simply breaking the rivet tool over time. I go through 2-3 hand rivets/year, but I could not justify the price of these cordless rivet tools. Finally, after breaking yet another hand rivet I decided to give in and purchase this tool. IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!!!! This tool is amazing! So simple and quick to operate, performs perfectly every time, fits where a hand rivet fits, effortless 1 hand operation, saves time, and seems to be built to last. I wish I would have bought it sooner and saved myself the aggravation of those cheap hand rivets. I have been using it for about 6 weeks and I HIGHLY recommend this tool! Do not be turned off by the price like I was. BUY IT! I'd give it 6 stars if I could."

Review : Great choice for this non-pro who rarely uses a rivet gun.

"I've used hand rivet guns, and pneumatic and this is by far superior. First, and not insignificant, is not having the noise of an air compressor. I'm an occasional riveter, certainly not a pro. I just got this and used it to make 2 above ground planters with bottoms out of left-over heavy steel roofing panels and some light-weight corrugated panels that I used to make the bottoms for the planters. The tricky part was squaring the planter on its side to rivet on the bottom. Pros would have had a helper. The logistics were challenging enough and I appreciated not having the cacophony of a compressor."

Review : Works Great and easy to use

"Great for portability and unlike a pneumatic, you can pull in stages to get the parts aligned properly and at correct angles.

The stems don't easily go through the body, they just stick in the tip and have to be pulled out the front rather than dropping through into the back container that it comes with. Rather annoying. Same rivets as used on the pneumatics which works as intended.

Another related issue is that because there isn't any air pressure to pull the rivets in and "hold" them there I found it easier to put the rivet into the part and then push the tool over the stems rather than loading the stems into the tool and then into the part. It just seemed a little backward and requires a different setup for top-down work."
