Review on Riveter Riveting 100Pcs Setting System by Keith Aluguvelli

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well. Great value for money

I used a rivet to repair my 75 inch Samsung TV when I removed the fixing screw in it. Yes I know. Stupid. I misunderstood the instructions and installed the mounting screws without a spacer (which Samsung didn't include with my "refurbished" TV). HA. That was 3 years ago and when I opened it I drilled a nut into the frame (be careful not to drop metal shavings on the back of the 75 inch screen). Then I installed a new rivet with a bolt and nut. The whole process took me 2 days and 10 gallons of sweat. This tool works great. The only problem is that sometimes the nuts get pulled out and if/when they fall out the protectors remain on the tool and when you put a new one in it can't pull on clean threads and I pulled out 5-6 threads before i knew what was going on. Then I took out my die and used it to clean the threads of the tool. I then had a good grip on the nut and it worked great after that. Of course it didn't help, I've used it on a tiny M4 nut and this thing draws way too much current for a 4M thread but that lets me go back to a summary. READ the instructions and check the correctness of each part very carefully.4. Depending on the nut size, DO NOT set too much power. For each size, apply just enough to tighten the nut at the back, and then "a little more". This tool works well. Easy to use (most of the time) and comes in a nice case with everything you need. The price is very good
