Review on πŸ”§ DOWELL Heavy Duty 10 Inch Hand Riveter Rivet Gun Tool Set with 5 Nosespieces, Including 50 Pieces of Rivets, Suitable for Plastic, Metal, Leather, Large & Small Jobs - 5 in 1 Hand Riveter for Enhanced SEO by Richard Cuneo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to use. No case or storage bag

Looks well built and sturdy, although the big question is always the smoothness of the internals (how often does it stick etc). There are no instructions, but installing the base rivet is self-explanatory. Fits 5 rivet sizes - Unscrew the head/collet from the handle neck and insert into the tip. Put the rivet in the pre-drilled hole and knock it out! There are tips and ideas on YouTube. Rivet sizes: 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", 3/16" and 1/4". All 5 sizes but it doesn't indicate what material it is. I suspect they are all aluminum Remember not to mix steel with aluminum as this can cause corrosion This type of lever (two handed) definitely has more power than a standard/traditional hand held rivet gun (one handed) but be yourself aware you can't use them in close contact space or in corners Gets stuck in gun, will have to be disassembled to fish out Pouch - just gun, some pattern rivets and the box it came in. Use washers if though You want, although they shouldn't be needed, and it should work with any rivet material (copper, brass, nickel plated, etc. ) can't remove rivets, you can use a chisel or drill The only reason I'm reluctant to do it is because is the lack of instructions and the need to figure it out to take nander if it gets stuck.

Pros
  • STRONG AND DURABLE: Constructed of thick, heat-treated carbon steel, this rivet gun is corrosion-resistant, durable and can withstand a heavy workload. The rivet can also be gripped and held firmly thanks to the internal three-jaw construction of the steel chuck.
Cons
