Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Astro Rivet Nut Drill Adapter Kit ADN14 for Pneumatic Tools by Chris Pettway

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Suitable for brass rivets, that's all

TLDR: Great for brass rivets, but I wouldn't attempt to make anything 1/4-20 or larger in stainless steel. about 30 1/4-20 stainless steel rivets and managed to break both mandrels. As people have said, they are not as capable as described. Both claim to be able to ride SS 1/4-20, but one of the rods broke off and the other broke off cleanly. I have a 20v battery drive with torque limit as needed but the hassle of installing it on the SS Rivnit was too much anyway. I went back to making them by hand to finish my project.
