Pros & Cons
Pros
The astro riveter is a heavy-duty tool that makes installing rivets easy. It's incredibly easy to pop the rivets and doesn't cause my hands to cramp up. Just used this to rivet tool to install a 3/16” stainless steel rivet.
Cons
This product is not good for a big job. Do not buy this cheap junk. Will not purchase again. Can't afford to send it back for repair.
Super disappointing, and hard to use. Simply stopped working. Worst part is that i contacted astro's customer service and received no reply!

Highlights
Quality
This tool appears to be well constructed, and works well.
I am verry happy with it as it seems very well made.
I watched a u tube, bought all the glue, rivets and splurged for the astro because i have hand strength problems due to old age... Read More
Wow, i was in a jam, but this astro 1/4" heavy duty riveting tool fortunately got me out of it.
Price
A great price and easy to use.
I bought the astro pneumatic hand riveter after seeing such good reviews and images plus it was a very good price.
I attempted to use an air hammer and rivets for my boat repair but couldn't find the right sized rivets or they were crazy prices.
Nice unit and fair price around $39.
Packaging/appearance
Rivet gun did not come in a box.
Competitiveness
This is almost as good as air power riveter gun.
Previously purchased a more expensive version of this tool from a tool truck, so i was skeptical this would do what i need.
This riveter works better than the cheap riveters.

I have used several of the one hand style riveters for some larger rivets we use at work and had endless problems with them breaking off early or not fitting well due to the way it grabbed the post

I need to install some beefy 1434 rivets and my cheapo rivet gun was not up to the challenge

Ive used other astro tools before and had good luck so i gave this a try
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Maybe too much ease as i never got to enjoy the satisfying snap of a rivet being installed

At best just a little whimper

Zero effort rivet installs are pretty nice this tool took what would have been an arduous task and made it annoyingly easy
