Review on πŸ”§ Astro Pneumatic Tool ADR14 XL Blind Rivet Adapter Kit - Enhanced 1/4" Capacity for Efficient Riveting by Mike Ewing

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High-quality, high-performance tool.

I spent a long time shopping before I found this riveting tool. Other drill rivets I've seen were made of plastic and reviewers complained that they weren't strong. This one is solid metal and the only one I've found that can install a 1/4" rivet. All the drill driven rivets I've looked at have the downside that you have to use the tool with one hand and the drill with you I had an extra Makita 9.6v drill that I wasn't using so I set it aside for use with the riveting tool I found a used radiator hose that was the correct diameter and attached it to the front of the drill and around the tool. Now I'm good for one-handed riveting. Specialty riveting tools that allow for one-handed operation cost anywhere from hundreds of dollars to over a thousand dollars. And most of them have a maximum output for a 3/16". -Attitude.niet.I haven't had this tool for a very long time, but if it does what I expect I'll be very satisfied.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Unreliable
