Mostly works. Does pop rivets on nice and tightly, but keeps stems locked in the tool.

Mostly works. Does pop rivets on nice and tightly, but keeps stems locked in the tool.
Well, it works. Most of the time. Main issue I am having is that the jaws do not release the leftover stem after the rivet pops. I had to take this apart twice, just installing 6 rivets, to pull out the stems. and it is a little frustrating to get those jaws and springs lined back up perfectly and get the lock pin back in, to say the least. they were only 3/32" rivets too! Overall, I do not have a high demand for rivets, and this did do the the job I needed. It was not a smooth operation, however.

    Great little hand held rivoter. Have use this around the house a lot. Holds up great. Easy to use. Just as good as any other I have ever used. Great for the price. If you just need a few riviots here an there this is for you. Maybe not if you using it ever day for a lot of riviots but if so get an automatic riviot gun. I would recommend this to any DIY guy.

    This tool works perfectly. I have never used one before and I was able to use it first try just from the directions on the back. I used it to attach several handles, paddle holders and eye hooks to my kayaks. I did purchase longer rivets as the ones that came with it were not long enough to reach through the kayaks and the thickness of the handle attachment. I did have to do 3 presses on each rivet. You have to push it back down tight after each press. I occassionally had to squeeze the handle a couple times to get the end to pull back out after it popped. No jams and I can press it with my hand strength easily. I am very happy with it.

    It's not perfect. I sometime have to force a rivet into it because the fitting got messed. But for the price, you really can't beat it.

    Also, it comes with 10 rivets in each of four sizes, not enough to really build anything, so get some extras if you have a project to do.

    Caught by surprise...biught as an afterthought not knowing where my old rivet too is, I did more than a double take.

    The mailer for this felt way to heavy to be a rivet tool... nope this is just a did well crated tool. Installed a long needed replacement handle on RV awning in under a minute.

    Tool is heavy, adds confidence the way a nicely crafter tool can be...does its job effortly and properly.

    Add this to your order. it works as well as any $50+ rivet tool I've ever used and fells as if it's going to be a lifelong addition to my gear bag.

    I was looking for a rivet gun to attach my daughters bumper to her car. This one looked ideal because it was affordable and came with an assortment of rivets. I was very pleased with it when it arrived. It is quite sturdy. However the rivets were fairly short. However I found longer rivers in large box of bolts in the garage. It got the job done! It has a small wrench that would be handy for removing the adapter for the different size rivets. It tends to fall out of the little pocket where it's stored. Aside from this minor nit this was great and I would easily buy it again.

    I bought a Tekton #6555 Rivet Gun. It is supposed to have a lifetime warranty according to the package but I have talked to the service technician and he is of little help. The first one did not work and I sent it back. The first time I used this I had problems. I am trying to install a hasp for a tumbling composter on a steel drum. The first rivet was hard to squeeze the handles. The rivet popped and the stem is still on the rivet. The second rivet was even harder to squeeze and the rivet worked though. The third rivet was not that hard to squeeze. I only squeezed about half way and the rivet popped but the stem was still on the rivet. Usually I have to squeeze about 2 or 3 times before it pops. The guy at Tekton basically is saying it is my fault and I should get a different rivet gun. I asked him about lubricating it and he says it does not need lubricating and that all the guns were checked before shipping.

    Good value for a product that can do the job a few times, only for small home use, not heavy duty. Needed to use once for my microwave door hinge and one rivet stuck and the other didn't cut the blade, eventually did the job but took some time.
