Review on 🔧 Girapow Cordless Rivet Gun Tool Kit, 18V Electric Automatic Brushless Blind Riveter with Battery & Charger - 3/16", 5/32", 1/8", 3/32" - Ideal for Stainless Steel, Steel, and Aluminum Rivets by Ryan Hampton

Significantly cheaper than 4-digit units. The instructions - almost useless - are all standard security warnings. Only on the last page do you find out what's going on and how to adjust the tension. Unlike other devices, the spike/nail does not go through the device and does not fall out at the back. Blows the nose. The device moves inwards once to pull out the nail. Then outside to extract it. This second cycle slows down the machine. You can aid extraction by pointing the nose down to allow gravity to drop the used nail out. Drops almost every time you do this. I just piped it into the trash can to avoid scattering the nails all over the store. If the nail sticks more than usual and doesn't fall out, struggles may ensue. Disassembly isn't obvious - even the diagram and the included "tool" doesn't cover all the wrench sizes you'll need. production speed. So everything sounds negative. It's more about learning how to use the tool. Plus: If you have to pull out hundreds of small rivets, it's a big labor saver. Draws consistently and reliably every time. I received a stable and reliable set of rivets. Note - tested with proud and flush stainless cherry rivets with stainless mandrels. - ie yes - it works if you build an airplane at home and rivet a small amount of rivets per session. Warning - Try pulling out the rivet without metal. You'll eventually have to take it apart to get the unwanted nail out. (do not ask) In general - for small jobs, for money. Everything is OK! Yes, this battery is similar to Makita's 18V battery. If you have thought about using other Makita batteries you have.
