bought it to use 3/16" rivets then needed to do 1/8" tip wouldn't stay in
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the gun worked fine initially on 3/16" rivets but when switched it back to the 1/8" tip the tip wouldn't stay in it is like the 3/16" tip wore out the threads even thought the 3/16" continued to work fine the swivel head might be better if it could be locked into specific positions but the way it was it would just rotate at the wrong time.

Great for downspouts and dryer duct work
Would RecommendJust what I needed for changing the gutter down spout to install a rain barrel. The swiveling head made changing the dryer duct work much eaiser in the tight space i was working in

Yes, It works better than most. But, I wpuld l8ke an electric model.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rivet tool works exactly S describe. The only thing I would like even better would be an electric model. Or an attachment model for the Ryobi battery system. I’m getting old and my hands do not function as long and well if I want them to.. However, I did everything I needed to do and I really shouldn’t ask for anything more anything better, but I am spoiled.

Diamond Plate Installation
Would RecommendThe RHT300 performed very well with my Diamond Plating project for my 1995 Jeep YJ. I used the RHT300 to place 8 rivets in Diamond Plating for the Passenger side and Driver’s side of my 1995 Jeep. The tool worked will and the project turned out great! The Diamond Plating with the pop-rivets looks very professional. I was very please with the ease of use for my first time using a tool of this nature.

Poor quality write out of the package
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So frustrated. Purchase this rivet gun and the one handed one to complete a custom gutter job after my old rivet gun failed after many years of service. Used the single handed gun for 3 rivets and the tip stripped right out of the threads in the housing. So opened this one up and it was broken right out of the package would not grip the rivets no matter what you adjust. So disappointed in the quality of these. Returned to store for reimbursemen...

Disappointing
Would Not RecommendI had an Arrow riveter that I used for 25 years with great results. I ignored reviews on this riveter and I should not have. This riveter is going back to Lowe's after 4 rivets. It breaks the mandrel about 3/4 the way up and no where near the rivet. The end result is a rivet in place with 3/4th of the mandrel still attached. Sad to see Arrow riveters have come to this end.
