Well made and easy to use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Need to attach some aluminum for a project I am working on and my old riveter would not grip he rivet to set them (wore out and cheaply made to begin with). This was very easy to use and set the rivets well.

excellent for pop riveting in hard to reach locations due to single hand operation.

This product will teach right places
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This riveter is the perfect tool for tight spaces, especially for 3/16 rivets. Most other hand held guns require you squeeze so hard on tight places you can’t keep the rivet seated. With this tool piece of cake.

Great one handed opperation
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product to mount a strip of aluminum across the screen on my back door, because my dog would jump up and rip the screen. The one-handed operation was great because it allowed me to hold the strip with the other hand and the ratcheting made it very easy.

Great for someone new to using rivets
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this tool to replace some rivets in an old heater. Even though the rivets aren’t period specific, the tool did the job nicely. Be aware this is a slightly larger tool so make sure you have room to fit it. Had my Lowe’s had another model is stock that was more compact I would’ve gone with that, but this got the job done.

Durable with a great design!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First manual riveter I've owned and I think it's a great design.

Surprisingly all of the additional collars also stayed snug to the tool from that drop. The only issue I have with it is that some...

Great product, must have when coming to using rivets
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for getting the job done. Had to purchase a riveter due to replacing a latch on my toolbox that didn’t have keys for. Finding this product made it simple to use and operate, and if something goes wrong it’s easy and simple to fix with no headache. Gave this tool a chance to do what I had to get done and I’m satisfied. Would recommend
