Perfect for Maintenance on my enclosed trailer

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The RT189K Rivet Gun is the perfect tool for maintaining my enclosed motorcycle trailer. I mainly use it in the shop but also carry it when I tow the trailer. Occasionally the manufacturers screws work themselves loose at highway speeds and a panel becomes loose. I do any necessary repairs quickly with the rivet gun and the repairs are permanent. One handed operation and very easy to use. Highly recommend this product

Great for riveting plastic and metal

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The arrow river RT189K was purchased so we could attach down spouts to our metal gutters to control the water flow when it comes through the spout. We attached the plastic spout with aluminum rivets to hold the two pipes together working great.

Setting stainless steel rivets

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The RT189K replaced my 40 year old rivet tool, after it broke while trying to set the stainless steel 3/16" rivets. The Arrow tool is much easier, and does a better job of clearing the shaft after completion. I also like the tool free design of the quick change rivet heads. Much better than having to look for a wrench to swap them out. The kit also came with some sample rivets, and 4 drill bits. A nice bonus!

Ok tool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shame it's not made in the USA as arrow once made quality products. Came with what was shown and stated as medium length rivets turned out to be small length so I had to purchase another box of rivets. Whole reason I bought the kit was it was supposed to include the rivets I needed.

Excellent

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had damage to my overhead garage door. Some of the cross members were spot welded. I chose to use a river instead. I purchased the RT189K. I drilled out the spot weld and inserted the rivet. The rivet gun worked great. The rivet was snuggly installed. The rivet gun kit did exactly what it was supposed to do.
