Pros & Cons
Pros
Low cost way to speed up a lot of riveting. Saves your hand from crimping up the old fashion way. Hand squeezing many of these is tough and stretched the knuckle joints in my hands.
Cons
Purchase at y ou ur own risk. Didn't come with 4 different sized rivet holders. Rivets don't even fit into the opening even without the holder.
Just seems to be slipping and not gripping the rivot. Total garbage. Wouldn’t tighten. Over and over again.
Highlights
Quality
Got this for my brother he will be happy
However i am disappointed that the collets or heads for differing rivet sizes are not marked in any way at least not that i was able to see
So you will have to play with the heads prior to using to make sure the rivet does not get stuck in the collet
Competitiveness
Vs buying a 300500 electric river gun nobrainer

I used this with a 20v dewalt max impact driver be careful that after you pop the rivet put it in reverse and slowly back off until the rivet stub drops out

Do not back off further you risk seizing the threads if you back off too much
