Review on 17 Inch Riveter Including Interchangeable Mandrel(M3 by Kaylon Mackey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just received, used and was impressed.

One thing that's good to know (or have) is how to cut it off if you overload it and make it spin what renders them unusable. . Shades of driver abuse. The same goes for a detail I never mentioned, which is if you have tight tolerances and hold the tool at an angle, the threads should enter at the same angle. OK if you're consistent, not so much if one is 15 degrees off the rest. Prepare your holes, the pain may dry up later, IMHO. Being able to hang a lot of props on such a small "spacer" is really impressive. I installed a 2x3 in my van during a renovation and the bed I installed is incredibly strong as it is connected to the frame. The handle installed in the rear doors is almost welded on. True, I only have a few weeks with him, not years, to compare how long he will last. I received a mixed box of nuts as I wasn't planning to assemble half the house in it. Although there are 100 packs that fill that need. Be sure to support the tool during use, align carefully when crimping, support when unscrewing the spindle, that's the only way I can see the tool breaking. I also glued the metric and standard threaded toolboxes although they are color coded. This box did not come with a carrying case. I disassembled one I already had. It's also worth noting that you won't screw a 4" screw into a 3.5" space and ruin the look of your car. We wish you every success with your projects.

Pros
  • ✔13 Replacement Arbor/Point Sets Metric M3 M4 M5 M6 M8 M10 M12 and SAE 8-32.10-24, 1/4-20, 5/16-18, 3/8-16.1/2-13 . The M8 mandrel is already on the tool so the plastic box is empty
Cons
