Attention Alstar Performance

This product is scrap, it broke after very little use and will not be replaced. Do not buy Allstar Performance products.

Read instructions before use

Please read instructions before use. It is necessary to use the cordless drill backwards after pushing out the rivet to remove the shank from the tool. Working backwards for too long will loosen the threaded rod inside the tool. You then have to disassemble the tool to refill the bar.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Appearance

Not what I was hoping for.

I had two of these, the first worked well for about 500 rivets and then stopped grabbing the rivets. Bought a second one and it only lasted a dozen or so and stuck with me. The part of the tool that you have to hold on to while using it jammed and almost ripped my nail off. Dissatisfied.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Concise Instructions

AMAZING TOOL - A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY TOOL MAN!

I bought this to replace a broken rivet gun and I will never go back to a regular rivet gun. This item will pay for itself in no time if you use a lot of rivets. I can use it with any of the many different drill bits I have and it works great. What a time saver and no cramps after setting 50 rivets either. I wish I had had this tool many years ago!

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Requires socket

. It works, but it's cheap plastic junk. It will not withstand heavy use.

Doesn't work much but is cheap plastic junk. In my opinion, it will not withstand heavy use. If you're drilling, plan on popping a lot of rivets. The part that slides on the drill chuck just dangles and cannot be locked. There is another version that costs $250 that performs great under heavy use and is made of metal with a heavy rubber cartridge guard. IMO don't waste your money on this. Buy the best.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Expandable

It was almost unbelievable.

I carefully read the reviews and decided to buy this riveting tool. The instructions were simple enough. I made about 100 rivets and was very satisfied and surprised. Then he grabbed the end of the rivet, ripped it off, and clamped it. I carefully took it apart and took it apart. Then another 50 before it jammed twice more and ripped off the tip of the rivet inside. Then I did another hundred, and then the mountain just fell off. I used a Milwaukee Fuel 18v drill at setting 1. I didn't turn it…

Pros
  • High-quality workmanship
Cons
  • So-so
