Is what it says

Would Recommend

Although I just purchased this rt189k a few days ago, I’ve already used it a half a dozen times, and it is definitely a quality made tool. I purchased this specific tool, because most of my riveting Should be one handed But until I found this tool, it was very cumbersome and time-consuming using a traditional style rivet gun. I have a traditional style, rivet gun and it works great, but this rivet gun is it better choice for one hand jobs.

Works well once you get used to it.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never read the instructions...wish I did...would have saved hours of frustration...worked perfectly the first time....but then it wouldn't let go of the shank.. I dismantled the tool and put it back together several times.....finally I figured out you have to pull the handle forward to reset the tool and have it release the shank.

Fantastic for working under the dash for vehicle repairs

Would Recommend

My fleet consists of 180 trucks in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina so we utilize the rivet gun (one handed) model for ease of use. Its the best rivet gun I have ever used in 30 years in the automotive field. I am now the fleet manager and I enjoy the feeling having 100% ROI applicable to the fleet and the tertiary systems that we maintain in/on them. Thank you your professionalism.

Durable

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this riveter as a replacement. I was curious about the one hand rachet technology. Im not to sold on that it really requires more than one hand as the tension increases on the rivet. Especially if you are using steel rivets. Overall pretty nifty concept.

Good for Seat Plaques

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I 'popped' about 10 - 1/8" rivets the other day and found that when the riveter 'worked' it worked well. However, on about 1/2 of them the 'jaws' didn't seem to be grabbing the rivet at all. I eventually finished up the project but the rivet gun was relatively unimpressive to use.
