My first Riveter
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting to purchase a riveter but haven't had a reason, I had something come up where I need to make a semi-permanent connection. I choose to purchase the RT189K because I have wanted one but didn't have the need. It is a little overkill for what I needed but what the heck.

Great idea for tight places and where you don’t want any screws showing.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool make many applications where I can’t use any screws or bolts in very tight places. I needed to attach hinges at bottom of doors so I can attach locks preventing anyone from opening case doors. Also works very well attached metal plates to prevent anyone from screwing off coverings.

Ease of use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never used a rivet gun ever but with the high winds from this past weekend I had a gutter down spout come down. I went to my local Lowes and bought me first river gun. The directions made using the river gun very easy. I was very satisfied with the quality and made my repair very pleasing.

Good product in a small package
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The small single hand ratcheting riveter works well and the on-board quick change adapters are a great idea for keeping everything together in one simple place. The (color coded rivet heads) along with the color coded rivet boxes makes it easier to identify.
