Review on Arrow RT200MKIT Headless One Handed Riveter by Dewey Tory

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I only bought it for one reason. Replace the window on my truck!

I couldn't use my old riveting tool as it didn't fit many sizes. I have a mini truck whose rear side glass was broken by someone. The kind that pops up to force air through the cabin. I went to the junkyard and bought a used frame window. It was attached with rivets and since I had a rivet gun I figured I could easily replace it myself. INCORRECT! My tool did not match the rivet size I needed. So getting that from Revain worked perfectly. My window just sat in place and was secured with a lever that opened it. With this tool I was able to rivet the new windows. I came with rivets so I took the biggest one and drilled a new hole in the window frame and truck and just put that rivet in. Success. Now I can safely open the window again. I will be using this again on this truck as I will be changing the stereo mount to accommodate a larger radio. I need to install some metal standoffs to hold the radio securely. As you might have guessed, the window was smashed in and someone tried to remove the stereo that was there, breaking the side brackets, unaware that it was attached to the back of the truck's radio. It couldn't be stolen. Nice tool and since it comes in a case I don't have to worry about losing spare rivets like I did with my old riveting tool.
