Review on Campbell Hausfeld TL053900 Air Rivet by Tory Richardson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor quality disposable product, suitable for single use.

I don't normally write reviews but I have to say this thing sucks. I used it on a project in early 2019, probably around 40 or 50 small 3/16" aluminum rivets, where it worked well. I oiled it well. Last night I tried using it for the first time since and the butt doesn't fire, the air just comes out at the overflow near your finger when you pull the trigger. So now it's a paperweight. I'm pretty sure the problem is the seal for the air piston as that's the only thing that really can't do this, but it's a pretty important component. I see the price has also dropped a lot, I paid about $70, now it's less than $50, just understand that for $50 you basically get a disposable product. over a buck sucks for me and I'm well past my returns window so I'm posting this in the hopes that someone doesn't make the mistake of buying this expecting to use it more than once.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
