Review on Arrow RT200MKIT Headless One Handed Riveter by Jared Gopalan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good general purpose tool

As an avid DIY enthusiast, I have many tools and use most of them regularly. However, I don't do much (actually almost nothing) riveting. So far I have found a solution to those strange circumstances where replacing the original rivet was the best solution. So great, now I have a tool for these really unique needs. How does this tool work? I've used regular rivet guns in the past and they work as expected. This is your basic standard lever right angle rivet gun. The bottom line is that he does not need a different head for the 3 common rivet sizes. This definitely saves time and eliminates the possibility of losing those spare heads. I also haven't noticed any issues using the universal head in terms of sloppy fit or rivet adjustment. risk of crushing. I pinched my palm once when the rear grip wobbles just enough for this to happen unless you're using a "wide" grip. What else? Comes in a nice hard case for storage, includes various aluminum rivets to get you started and some drill bits. (I think having disposable metal drill bits is a good idea, although I don't really hope they last long.) All in all, a good starter kit for us hobbyists. I think serious users will probably go for the sturdier option, but if you just need something for one-off use this is a good set.

Pros
