Review on πŸ”§ JiGiU Heavy Duty Two-Handed Pop Rivet Gun Kit with 200pcs Rivets - Manual Hand Riveter Tool for Plastic Metal Leather Vehicle - Includes 5 Interchangeable Rivet Heads - JGU002 by Doug Hook

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Compared to the one-hand riveting tool

Conclusion: Riveting pliers should be missing from every toolbox and every workbench. I've had a Dewalt one-handed block for a while, so I'll do some comparisons. Observations: Recent rivet gun repair project was to replace some rusted and broken aluminum rivets on a 5 foot ladder. I only used 1/8" aluminum so the Dewalt one-handed rivet gun could be used, but it took two steps to complete, which usually results in a tighter grip on the rivet. Recommendations: 1) Although this larger two-handed rivet gun rivets in one push, I always test multiple rivets before deciding to rivet in one go 2) This two-handed version is definitely more than one-handed and weighs a bit more (2-1/ 2 vs. about 1 pound). The larger one is definitely a lot lighter for larger rivets and harder rivets (steel/stainless steel). , contains a decent assortment of aluminum starter rivets. Cons: No case. Verdict: $24, 5-star rating.
