Will not work with longer plus nut rivet nuts.

Like some of the other reviews, the first unit I broke on the first try (the hinge pin retainer was broken). I was willing to take the risk that it was a defective unit and asked Revain for a direct replacement. Unfortunately after submitting an inquiry I found that this model does not work with longer plus nut rivets. and it worked great. That means I have to send it back and order the right tool now. I have to admit, I was almost hoping that the 2nd device would also break so that I wouldn'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Very expensive

NOT HEAVY ENOUGH in riveting machines

My first experience with this tool and not very good. The first 3/8 x 16 nut I tried to pull out broke this tool. Upon examining what was broken, I found that part #12 (1452-12) of the activity set was broken on the swing arm where the handle was attached. I called Astro Pneumatic Tool Company and in fact they are closed until January 2nd, 2019. I think after January 2nd I will know what to do as directed in their warranty to call 800 for instructions on how to handle the warranty, eitherโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • I won't say anything

The best tool, learn how to use it!

Excellent product! But even better is the personal telephone support. Full Disclosure. I broke this tool the first time I pasted it because I didn't know how to use it properly. What is not said in the instructions is not surprising, the tool must be felt so that it does not overtighten. It's like trying to teach a kid not to remove and break every bolt by learning to back off in time (Kevin). Don't over-tighten the nut with this tool for initial prepress installation than you can (instructions

Nice gun but lacks a key feature available in the cheaper

I have given this gun 4 stars as so far it has been a good gun but it was more expensive than another that was missing a key feature. I bought this model PLUS another which I thought was smaller, with smaller nuts. When they both arrived, however, the guns themselves were nearly identical except for one key feature. While I like this one, time will tell how it holds up. BUT both appear to be made the same way and the parts are interchangeable. However, this one currently costs 24.00 more thanโ€ฆ
