Review on AKKTOL Rivet Riveter Interchangeable Rivets Tools & Equipment by Joseph Mathis

I also have a cheap HF standard regular square head rivet gun that works great for years and is more than enough to sometimes make aluminum rivets. I chose this heavy duty rivet gun specifically for setting larger and rustproof rivets that require significantly more tension to set the rivet. Sometimes I do surfboard maintenance and all those rivets have to be stainless steel to protect against corrosion. Attempting to knock out a stainless steel rivet with a standard one-handed rivet gun is a good way to injure your hand from crushing or breaking the rivet gun. This heavy-duty, double-lever gun makes it easy to set even large-diameter, long-length stainless steel rivets. The mandrel grab bottle is also very handy when you mount a lot of rivets to make cleaning easier. The only downside to this rivet gun is that its size makes it impractical for use in tight spaces, but this is a problem with all heavy rivet guns, so just keep this in mind when planning your job.
