Review of RT300S

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] TheRT300S rivet tool is well made & easy to use. It is an upgrade to models like the RHT300, but there is no review page for the new RT300S currently. I even convinced my wife to do the last rivet and then we watched a video about the Rosie ladies of WWII. Together, we tackled a repair that had been postponed for a long time. The RT300S made it so quick and easy, I felt silly for taking so long to buy a tool some rivets. I thought the process w...

The angle head makes a huge difference

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having the rotating angled head, made all the difference in the world to my specific repair job. I was able to complete repairs without having to completely disassemble my project.. being able to switch angles at the rotation of the head… so easy and did it perfectly. Can’t say enough about this tool’s versatility

Used to install aluminum Rivets to my Boat Bunks

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used to install aluminum Rivets to my Boat Bunks, very easy to use. Multiple size rivets with 360 Deg. head made easy access to hard-to-reach areas. Very well-made product allowing easy to install rivets and not leaving a heavy burr when snapping off the shaft. A great tool to add to anyone's toolbox for longevity and quality use.

Would not let go of rivet

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used it to repair a truck bed cover. Used the 5mm Aluminum rivets and it would not release the rivet after it snapped it off. It did come apart easy enough, but putting it back together was a pain. Retuned it and bought the one handed one

Terrible

Would Not Recommend

I bought this name brand tool thinking it would be a quality tool. I liked the idea of the swivel head to get into tight spaces. On my first use the rivet stuck inside the tool and I had to grind the back side of the rivet off to get the tool out of a part for a classic Corvette. I also found this tool very hard to squeeze the handles. This thing is JUNK. Don't purchase!!

Perfect!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mechanic I have some vehicles that require riveting to put under body panels back on, this makes it more easy to get to tough angles because the head swivels. I also purchased the smaller on to get into tight places. I love this tool!

First Rivet tool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The RT300 was easy to use and did a great job for my needs. I thought it opened up too much for my hands which made it difficult to grip at first but once I realized I didn’t need to fully release to complete the job it was much easier.

Excellent tool!

Would Recommend

I bought the RT300s so easy to use, I removed the seats from my boat and wanted to change the position and the rivet gun worked perfectly. Then I needed to fix my glove box in my truck and it needed rivets back in to hold it in place. Worked like a charm.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to make a repair on vacation (rivet on ski box broke). A friend of mine who is in construction said these are great quality- so I'm going off his expertise :)
