This unit replaces an identical unit that broke after a few years of light use. If this unit lasts longer, it’s 5 stars.

This is a great riv-nut gun, but there are a couple things to be aware of.This is sent from the factory with the M6 tool installed with the nose nut, and is torqued so tight it makes you wonder if it is removable.Pay attention to the reverse threads on the tools.The angle of the head in relation to the body, as well as the grip location and size poses a almost unavoidable* pinch hazard (especially if you have large hands!). If your hand gets pinched, do not panic and rip your hand free, simply pull the trigger again and it will release you from it's grip. *After pinching your hand once or twice, you should learn how to avoid this from happening. Hopefully.That being said, I have not had this for very long and haven't used it much yet to speak of durability. But here are some things I have noticed right away:The tool seems to be constructed fairly well, and the blow molded case is decent. The case holds the tools securely in place, and you can even leave a tool in the gun! But you need to remove the air inlet fitting to fit it in the case 🤔The pressure adjustment is nice to have right in the gun, and has a fairly large range you can set with that alone. It is only 1/4 turn from MIN to MAX, so it may be tricky to get dialed in especially if you switch nuts and need to go back and forth on the pull pressure.It is great that this comes with both SAE and Metric tools included. This gives you more versatility and value for money from one tool, which was one reason I purchased this. I have both SAE and Metric nuts I need to install, and this saved me from buying two separate tools or having to find and purchase more tooling for another tool that only comes with one set.Performance wise, I have set quite a few 1/4 Stainless nuts already (which claims is the max for the tool in Stainless), they set completely on the first pull smooth like butter!Unlike the reversible twist style guns, you need to manually unscrew this after setting the nuts. Not a deal breaker for me, but if you have hundreds of nuts to set, it may be a pain. I do about 50 at a time, and it isn't too bad.Overall, not knowing about long term durability yet, I would definitely choose this gun again.

Always did nutserts by hand, never again after buying this. Instant game changer, worth the money.

Astro Pneumatic installation of rivet nuts easy! Works fast and secures the rivet nuts accurately.This tool avoids the aggravation associated with installation of these types of fasteners.

I'm trying to avoid buying more tools but I had a fairly big job that required quite a few rivnuts. Being not so young anymore I didn't want to have to do all the rivnuts bu hand so I went out on a limb and purchased this. It worked perfectly! I knew nothing about setting rivnuts but I found setting it up to be pretty easy, some instructions would be nice though. After well over a hundred rinvuts, I have no complaints and now I am dreaming up how to use rivnuts in other jobs. Very happy with this tool.

It works great, has a good assortment of mandrels and easily installs steel rivet nuts. The case is another matter, you can’t store the tool in it with an air fitting installed.

El producto es de excelente calidad, trabaja muy bien para lo que requiero. Respecto al estuche pese a que es de excelente calidad, en mi opinión bajo la premisa de que es un equipo portátil no así para una producción en linea es necesario guardarlo constantemente y si este es el objetivo que debe de cubrir el estuche; mi sugerencia es que lo modifiquen para que se pueda almacenar con la válvula de aire y la conexión rápida sin tener que desarmarla cada vez que se pretenda guardar, a efecto de conservar la rosca de la remachadora.

This rivnut setter works great for 3/8" rivnuts. I am getting to old to set those by hand, even with a long handled tool. This pneumatic tool works great, but it does require high air pressure. Then it works effortlessly. I should have bought one of these a llong time ago. There are lots of other brands of this too that are very expensive. This one works great for me as a DIYer.
