What Customers Are Saying
The tool is well-designed and versatile, with a one-handed operation that makes riveting tasks easy and efficient. It has a durable construction, color-coded interchangeable nosepieces for different rivet sizes, and a smooth operation that is praised by users. While the one-handed design works well for most, some with smaller hands found it challenging to fully close the handles, especially when using larger rivets. Overall, the tool is widely regarded as an excellent choice for a wide range of DIY and professional projects.

Easy to use tool
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this tool a few days ago to assist in installing a doggie door. I had never used rivets prior. This tools made it really easy to install the rivets. For the most part I was able to do this one-handed. The one exception was when I was at a weird angle it required two hands. I appreciated that this works for multiple rivet sizes and that it's easy to change between. I don't have a lot of uses for rivets, but after this purchase perhaps I...

Riveter than solves old problems with easy woc
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This riveter did a great job for me updating my house rain gutters. Secure, good fit, easy operation and simple interchange of heads. Much better than my old brand X tool. I'd recommend this for any home user. I'll be using it often as I update the rest of my gutter system.

Does the job right!

Very Disappointed
Would Not RecommendVery disappointed. Purchased this today to upgrade from my Sears 1970 era rivet gun. It lasted for only five rivets. The first four were a struggle trying to get the mandrels removed from the gun. On the fifth rivet the jaws were locked on the mandrel so bad it could not be removed. I had to use my worn out 50 year old rivet gun to finish off the remaining 40 rivets. I will take this back to the store for a return.
