Review on πŸ”§ Astro Pneumatic Tool ADR14 XL Blind Rivet Adapter Kit - Enhanced 1/4" Capacity for Efficient Riveting by Ricardo Ware

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wow! That's great.

I came across this tool while looking for something different. I couldn't hit the buy button fast enough with this tool. Firstly, this tool isn't cheap, it's all metal (you can use it as a weapon in a pinch, lol). I've run this tool through every screwdriver I had, from impact, from a drill, and even my little 12 volt screwdriver. The 4 thumb ratchet worked great too, allowing this tool to be used without power in a pinch. I only have aluminum rivets and this tool does a great job with that, but I suspect stainless steel rivets will put a lot more stress on the part. that sticks to the rivets. My previous rivet guns have failed when using stainless steel, and it's always been the same little arresting detail that blew the air out or broke them all together. Spare parts separately, but only time will tell the durability of this tool. I will definitely be purchasing the rest of the tools in this line. I'll try to post pictures of all the tools as well as any attachments I could use to work with this tool. Some other reviewers complain that the tool doesn't eject the hairpin used, I haven't had this issue (or at least haven't yet). I am happy with my purchase, thank you!
