HAUTMEC 5-in-1 Rivet Gun Heavy-Duty Press-Type Labor Saving Pop Rivet Tool with Portable Wrench,Fast Single Pull Action Riveter for Metal HT0130-HR

I got an Arrow pop-riveter from a big box store, and it was okay with aluminum rivets. But with stainless steel rivets it was unusable.This tool is in a whole different category. Heavy duty. It pops the thickest stainless steel rivets with little effort. I like the clever design - it's like using a pair of four-foot-long levers, only folded up. It's not pocket-sized, and not feather-light, and you need to room pull it to the full length, but that's fine for my usage.Takes one or two pumps to "pop" a rivet. The broken-off stems come out freely (can't say that about the Arrow riveter). The nozzles for different rivet sizes are not color coded, but the rivet sizes are clearly marked on them. The little wrench has key holes for identifying the rivet size. Though you if you need to do that, you might as well just try which nozzle fits the rivet best, without using the key.And yes, the little wrench was included. I attached it to the tool with a small carabiner to make sure it doesn't get lost.

I give three stars for anything Average and don't give five unless it is something I tell friends and neighbors about. I think that if I'd had this forty years ago, my life hobbies could have become business ventures. Pop rivets (blind rivets) have always been nice but my hand wore out from squeezing too soon, and no one thought of making them electrical yet. This makes riveting SO EASY that I'm sure I would've continued with sheet metal work and maybe I'd have become rich.

Quick and easy to use, but the stroke is almost two feet, so it’s impossible to use in tight spaces. It also takes three or four strokes to pop the rivet. The lack of instructions, other than four small pictures, no info on how to change the nosepiece or set the grip depth. We managed the assembly of cannabis grow tables, would have been quite tough on our hands without this tool.

My old riveter stopped working. I am also getting old and have difficulties using rivet guns.This pulls back about 18", then pushes in to pop the rivet. Some may take more than one pump.I like that I do not have to squeeze to make this work. I like that pushing this in also pushes the rivet better into the hole.

good product

Great
