Hunk of Junk

Would Not Recommend

Do not buy Arrow rivet guns! I bought my first one (Model RT188M) to repair two suitcases. There were no instructions at all, so a normal person would assume that the operation was easy. On my 5th rivet, the gun jammed and I could not remove the nail from the head of the gun. I contacted Arrow, and they sent a replacement. That was a good solution, but it certainly delayed completing my project. While I waited for the replacement to arrive, I bought a second gun (Model RHT300). The very f...

Waited too long!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] great tool - wished I had it years ago! I needed this for an aluminum gate that I was installing. Screws don't stay in aluminum, so needed rivets. This tool was perfect for the job.

watch what you buy from Lowes

Would Not Recommend

The product was broken and clearly returned from another customer and resold as new. This cost me several hundred dollars in lost time due to lost labor hours. I called customer service and they were less than understanding and un willing to do anything besides say that I could drive back and exchange.. NOT COOL!!!

Not sure about this tool.

Would Not Recommend

The rivet pin gets stuck every time I use the tool. I can't tell if its defective or it bad rivets. Definitely not working right. I needed to install three rivets. Each pin jammed and I have to disassemble the tool. Many it doesn't like random rivets?
