I used this tool to secure a battery bracket and others items in a kayak. Very effective and, of course, very strong using 1/4" stainless rivets. I've also repaired shoddily-made lawn and beach furniture using it. Rivets are ideal for areas when you can't get top the backside to hold a nut on a screw for tightening.

    the rivet tool does work alot better then the smaller type rivet guns specially when using on metal rivets. the only thing when using this gun it takes so many pumps before it pops the rivet not sure why anyway i'am ok with that. it's not a tool i use on a day to day basis. so i like the tool and only had it maybe a week.

    I wasn't sure how well it would work but it did the job on the rivets for my Jeep Wrangler's lock that I placed under the hood. This lock was essential for me with my trips to Philadelphia.

    A great tool at an excellent price. I should have bought this tool years ago! It can use all kinds of rivets, steel, aluminum, and other material with sizes up to 1/4". Easy to use, it is well built and sturdy in construction. A great deal for a heavy duty manual rivet tool.

    The Surebonder rivet tool was ease to use. It gives you the leverage needed to install 1/4" steel rivets. If you place the tool upside down and spread the handles apart the rivet shaft will fall into the collection bottle.

    Easier to use than an angled head / pliers type riveter if you have room straight out from your work. This tool has much more leverage. I use it for mounting "don't dig here signs" for a water company.

    Easiest Manual Rivet Setter
    Great mechanical advantage with this rivet tool over my Stanley model. This model is not for tight fitting rivet placement, but when setting hundreds of rivets with wide open access this saves lots of energy and sore muscles!

    1/4 inch Pop Riviter
    Does the job, but will not release the mandrill. Have to drive it out with the next rivet.

    Good leverage for popping 3/16 or 1/4 inch rivets.
    Works fine, but mandrel does not fall into collection bottle
