Review on πŸ”§ ABN Nut & Thread Hand Riveter Tool Kit Set – 17-Piece, 13in Rivet Setter Gun, Riveting Nuts, SAE & Metric Nose Sets by Zachary Greene

Revainrating 2 out of 5

No instructions, poor support

I'm familiar with hand riveting and generally figured it out. However, the tool-free quick-change head is a bit unusual, and the adjustment to different material thicknesses is not intuitive. The manual is provided neither by the ToolDeals provider nor by the manufacturer ABN (AutoBodyNow). I emailed both of them and each responded, but after a week both gave up and said they just didn't have any documentation and that I should try looking on YouTube. Not ideal as most videos are made old style and not without tools. If you need a manual, be sure to search the web for a .pdf file using the keywords "Bay Supply", "manual" and "1442". You will find a link to a "blue manual" which is pretty close. All in all a decent tool, but given the time I wasted looking for documentation, if I could do more I would buy from another manufacturer that has basic documentation.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Damaged
