Pros & Cons
Pros
This tool is amazing. Smooth operation, easy to setup and use and it has excellent instructions. Purchased this item for my boyfriend to help him with a project. Very happy with it.
After hundreds of rivets it looks and operates like new. Works beautifully with stainless steel rivets. Fully engaged a steel 3/16 rivet in one trigger squeeze.
Pays to get this one instead of the other common chinese product out there that is sold by numerous different brands. It feels heavy and well built. Sturdy and easy to use.
Cons
It took two or three cycles to pull the 1/8 stainless steel rivets tight and very frequently mutilated the pop-rivet. Produced oversized holes that would have caused gutter leaks. No external protection for the original carton.
Highlights
Quality
This is a nice unit as it it well made, and performs nicely.
Smooth operation, easy to setup and use and it has excellent instructions.
We bought 3 rivet guns for the project, right from the beginning, two wouldn't even stay primed or work.
This takes the arm work out and with 2-3 trigger pulls, you are locking and loading rivets one after another.
Price
Works with my cheap $100 pancake compressor.

I wasn't expecting much considering the low price, i was blown away with how good it worked.
Was looking at buying another but they are very expensive.
Shipping
Very happy with purchase and delivery time to new zealand.
Shipping was fast and the tool was well packaged.
Ordered a second unit a day later and it was shipped in its original box however, the shipper packed it in an envelope this tim... Read More
Could be a result of the shipping damage, operator error, or both.
Packaging/appearance
I received what had obviously been an open box and someone's amazon return.
The four packs of complimentary rivets were missing.
As a result the box was crushed a bit and the catch tube was broken, the unit itself seems to be working okay, though it does b... Read More
Competitiveness
I’ve had a few and saw this rated top three in a comparison test and was rated #1 in value for the money now i know why.
But it appeared that just about every one of these sold on amazon under some different chinese company name all had the same design.
Thankfully, astro pneumatics is one company who stocks replacement parts for their items.

All my use case scenarios involved riveting 14 inch rivets but if any one knows how much hand force you need for 1 imagine doing it 100 times in one sitting

This takes the arm work out and with 23 trigger pulls you are locking and loading rivets one after another

No other tool would have made this even realistically possible given the tight parameters and lack of leverage or space to manually do it

Recharges after a couple trigger pulls but my compressor is old noisy and just hanging on for what it can still do

I pop several thousands of rivets a day and have not had one issue out of this gun

I’ve been through several of riveters that prices have ranged from anywhere up too 1000 and had to spend more time working on the gun then on the actual repair itself
