What Customers Are Saying
The tool is well-designed and versatile, with a one-handed operation that makes riveting tasks easy and efficient. It has a durable construction, color-coded interchangeable nosepieces for different rivet sizes, and a smooth operation that is praised by users. While the one-handed design works well for most, some with smaller hands found it challenging to fully close the handles, especially when using larger rivets. Overall, the tool is widely regarded as an excellent choice for a wide range of DIY and professional projects.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tool. Grip is perfect for 1 handed work. Not as hard to operate as others I've had in the past. Even when using stainless steel rivets, I can use it with one hand.

Onehanded! Its true!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this even though i have another model years ago. My old one was a bit difficult to use on larger diameter rivets and i was always afraid the little wrench for changing tips would come up missing. Must say this one (RT188M) is much easier to pop a rivet with. So pleased with this product! Thanks for making life easier ! Definitely recommend !! Code 1117

First use of Riveter brand
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed this gun and it was easy to use. Rivets exit the tool very easily. The color coding makes it easy to switch heads. It grabs pretty well. Not a huge snap when the rivet is complete. I have used guns that made my hand hurt from the snap. Code 1117
