Arrow RT200MKIT Headless One Handed Riveter Review

Good idea, no need to change heads for other sizes but poor design. Because the head is so flat that it doesn't get into hard-to-reach places, it's not suitable for most applications.

I wasn't sure what a headless riveting machine was. In this case, that means the paint pen or nozzle tip is a versatile tip that can be used with multiple rivets without having to switch to a different sized rivet like most other rivet guns require. This gun is pretty well made, runs smoothly and for the smallest rivet size it's pretty easy to operate with one hand and even with the largest rivets I can complete the adjustment with one hand. I tend to use both hands because it takes a lot of…

This rivet gun is more than adequate for repairing metal gutters or hangers on metal doors in the hobby area or in the home. Love how it pulls different rivets without having to switch heads. And the rivets from the kit I used worked great and were tight. Gripping the handles was also very comfortable. Well if you are a body builder or professional you can skip this one. Also, it won't pull smaller rivets with a #30 drill bit. Smooth or worn shank. If you buy a set you can also throw the drills

I have an old riveting machine that needs a head change to adapt it to the size of the rivets being used. He has put many rivets in over the years. It no longer loosens rivets as easily as it used to. When I saw that the Arrow RT200 was headless, I didn't even understand what that meant. Simply put, headless, you never have to change heads - one size fits all. Kit includes Headless Rivet Tool RT200, 3 drill bits (1/8", 5/32" and 3/16"), 75 aluminum rivets: 25 1/8" (3mm), 5/32" ( 4 mm.) and…

I have an old Aarow rivet gun. I don't rivet much, but when I do I want it to be as simple as possible. I love my old rivet gun, but if I want to use a different size rivet than what it was designed for, I have to remove the attached (and slightly in the way during use) tiny flat wrench and replace the head. I like that it automatically adjusts to different head sizes, which saves me time. The older I get, the more I understand that I value my time, so time that can be saved is important to me.

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

As an avid DIY enthusiast, I have many tools and use most of them regularly. However, I don't do much (actually almost nothing) riveting. So far I have found a solution to those strange circumstances where replacing the original rivet was the best solution. So great, now I have a tool for these really unique needs. How does this tool work? I've used regular rivet guns in the past and they work as expected. This is your basic standard lever right angle rivet gun. The bottom line is that he does…

Disclaimer: I received this product for free through the Vine program. I have previously purchased an Arrow electric nailer and stapler which have served me well for many years so I was pleased to find this Arrow riveting tool available on Vine. I am happy to report that it meets my expectations. The tool, which weighs just over a pound, feels solid. It is made of steel with rubberized plastic pads on the handles. When the tool was fully open I could barely grip both handles with one hand (I…

I confess that I rarely need a riveting tool. Riveting is one of those jobs that I very rarely have to do, and I've always done it the "hard way" that I was taught. This was my first time using a real riveting tool and it's definitely easier than doing everything by hand. Most of those reading this and looking at this tool already know the basic process and how it works, so I won't explain the whole procedure. for using this. I will say that this works the same way anchor bolts do. The set…
