Do not buy! Returning mine.

Would Not Recommend

It does not snap the rivet pin off correctly. I had to use other tools to snap it off in the correct location because this rivet tool left over 1/2” sticking out when it snapped it off. Do not recommend this tool.

Don't waste your money

Would Not Recommend

Purchased to replace an Arrow rivet gun which stopped grabbing rivets. This one made it 4 rivets before it did the same thing. Unfortunately, this is the only brand they carried in the store, will look elsewhere for a replacement. I was using aluminum rivets, should have held up well.

Perfect for Architectural Sheet Metal

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and really convenient. Just wished it was just a bit lighter for the tool belt.

Good for gutter and vent pipe work

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The RHT300 is good for metal work like gutters and vent pipe being that it is able to work with multiple sized rivets. What is incredibly handy is being able to adjust the head to work in difficult places especially when on a ladder.

Multiple rivet heads and sufficient power

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used medium rivets with no problems. I bought this because the riveter I had did not have multiple rivet head options.

great for metal paneled doors.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a repair job performing maintenance on Mondays where young students are rough on everything. this rivet gun is easy to use and is quick versus a sheet metal screw. the rivet is strong and leaves no sharp edges. The pivoting feature is awesome and has taken me out of many pinches. I like the versatility. 5 Star *****
