It's a simple process.

July 2019 Update: A few weeks ago I literally got my hands on the tool. The clamp attached to the screw handle broke inside the tool. It's doubtful that this can be fixed at the moment, but I don't think I'm interested in fixing it. The weight of the tool and air hose makes this a cumbersome piece of equipment when not working in a station. When it broke, I had to switch to a hand riveter (also Astro brand). For my purposes, a hand riveting tool is easier, faster, and requires less effort to…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Insufficient instructions etc. Only one star because there is no cheaper option

I am returning the item for the following reasons: 1) The packaging of the product is poorly designed combined with air. - Hose connection nipple, the product no longer fits in the plastic tool container. 2) Product instructions are the most inadequate. 3) It would be great if the company would provide a detailed video of the tool in operation. We all know how a tool is supposed to work, but how to achieve such results through fine tuning. The basics of changing tool to set different rivet nuts

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled

Just Won't Work: Tools and Accessories

I wish I hadn't waited a month to try it because now I can't return it. It literally blows all the air right through the small hole in front and below the trigger. Might work for the smallest lock nut as I can see the piston trying to move a bit but I doubt it will do anything if the lock nut has any real resistance. Just a terrible Chinese design. To top it off, the customer support is ZERO. The Amazon link is to a furniture retailer's site, the phone number made me stay longer than I…

Pros
  • Fun
Cons
  • Mature Model
