This is a very heavy duty two handed rivet tool. It is able to easily install 3/16" steel rivets which were very difficult if not impossible to install with the one handed rivet gun.

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. On one machine I had almost a 50% fail rate. After buying this, my fail rate dropped to 0%, installation took much less time and had much better results. I plan on buying another one for use at home and throwing my old Stanley in a garage sale.

If you're using 1/8 rivets, the pin will go down into the plastic container, but the moment you want to use the next rivet, it will go back to the tip (even with another 1/8 rivet inside ready to be used) and will not allow the gun to work. You will move the handles but it will not pull the pin from the river you have.The only way for this to work, is to actually remove the white container entirely, and after every single rivet used, get rid of the left over pin before inserting the next rivet.Look, I still feel like this is a very solid riveter, hence the four stars for now.Maybe placing a magnet into the bottom/side of the white container may help, but it really depends how many 1/8 rivets you plan on using for the job. It works perfectly fine on bigger rivets such as 1/4

I have read many others experiencing failures from their rivet guns because they are only good for aluminium rivets.. this is the main reason why i went with this model for its reliability and ease of use. The maker has decades of experience in this field.I am building 2x 3m x 1.58m x 2.08m sheds and requires the use of over 400x 316 Marine Grade Stainless Rivets.This tools consistently delivers excellent results.Sure enough sometimes it can get stuck.But thanks to the fully serviceable modular design, you can quickly dissemble the mandrel assembly down to the 3 claws that locks on to provide the firm grip on the rivet. This way you can clear any blockage and get the unit up and running in no time. You can easily adjust the engagement point as well. Every aspect of the operation is fully adjustable.I can't get closed version if 316 stainless rivet from my supplier, but i use Silkaflex polyurethane sealant to seal off each stainless rivet. Both the rivet hole and the rivet top has been sealed to prevent leakage under severe weather conditions. Occasionally this sealant can cause issues to the grip, but you can easily clean the system and restore its normal operation.This is one of the best tools investments i have made recently.Highly recommended unit.

I was installing a bunch of 3/16 x 5/8 rivets and Initially I was having trouble getting it to grip. I counted over 100 actions on one rivet to get it tight, each pull was only doing a tiny amount at the end of the travel. Once I got the main nut adjusted properly, it worked like a charm, taking ~4 actions to install each rivet. Super happy with it. Far easier on the hands than my prior rivet tool

I was doing some gutter down pipe riveting with a normal 250 mm size hand riveter with 4.8 mm diameter aluminium rivets and it was a real challenge with just one had. Ordered the Astro riveter to complete the job and the contrast was amazing. It handled the 4.8 mm diameter rivets perfectly. Really a great tool for larger jobs. The bottle for catching the rivet pins after riveting is very useful.

Wow, I was in a jam, but this Astro 1/4" heavy duty riveting tool fortunately got me out of it. I mean, I was trying to find some way of securing the three mounting legs of this attic vent fan onto the thin aluminum housing. Well, sheet metal screws were certainly not the answer as they would typically strip out due to the thin aluminum housing. In addition, there was no option of using bolts, lock washers and nuts either as there was no quick and easy way of gaining access from behind the housing. This was where the Astro 1/4" heavy duty riveting tool came into play as the three holes in the housing were slightly larger than 1/4" in diameter. Well, because I was dealing with an obviously confined space, the relatively short handles of the Astro 1/4" heavy duty riveting tool made this job workable. Yes, I was able to securely fasten each of the three legs of the attic vent fan onto the thin aluminum housing using nothing but 1/4" X 3/8" steel rivets (which I also purchased from Amazon). You know, that Astro 1/4" heavy duty riveting tool had surely paid for itself that day! Oh yes, that is undoubtedly a well constructed and quality 1/4" riveter by the way, and something that I will cherish for years to come. If you're looking for an exceptionally good 1/4" riveting tool at a very affordable price, I would highly recommend this one!

Very easy to use. Comes with instructions, some parts of which i didn’t understand. However, this does the job for setting 3/16 stainless rivets. ALuminum and steel rivets weren’t too hard with the old single handle guns, but the larger stainless rivets really benefit from this awesome and strong device. It was a fair price. I’m happy with it. Glad I bought it, as it will make my life easier and save my arms and hands from stress and fatigue.

Interesting riveter that works better than my handheld one, however can be limiting in tight spaces. The hand riveter can also be limiting in tight spaces so depending on where you need the rivet to go, you may need both which is why I ordered this one. This one is much more heavy duty then my handheld riveter, and seems like you can hold the rivet better in place to ensure the rivet is pulling in a straight and linear fashion. Really like the bottle to catch the pins, saves a lot of hassle from cleaning them up after a job. Nice little wrench so you can tighten the heads down properly during changes.
