                Life Saver!
                Had to rivet an awning leg bracket to the side of a sprinter van with a fairly large 3/16 inch rivet…the old manual riveter wouldn’t work. Picked up this cordless riveter today from HD and it worked beautifully, zero swaying at the rivet point you would normally get if you were hand riveting. Easy to hold and manage with some important features and accessories. Great qualiy and great function!

                    Save your forearms and leave the depression of pulling rivets at your tool box, i love this thing its a beast. Seen some reviews of it jamming havent had a jam yet but sometimes it wont pull the pin all the way through if you are doing work on the floor just load the next rivet in and tilt it back itll clear it

                      This is our second Milwaukee rivet tool as the first one was stolen. Wasn't able to get the set again since it wasn't in stock but wouldn't go any other brand. Drove an hour to have it that day, store CSR even brought it to the front for me before I got there. Had the original one almost a year and not one issue and it was used a lot. Couldn't wait to open it. This tool makes life much more easier than those manual ones.

                      I probably have more Milwaukee tools than any other brand. And I have tons of batteries and chargers both 12v and 18v. And the one thing I can say is that Milwaukee really has figured out how to make a powerful battery fueled tool. I am usually wary of diving into lower voltage tools since I don't want to find myself with an under-powered tool. All of the Milwaukee tools I have in the 12 volt line up have outstanding performance and this tool is no exception. There is plenty of power for the job at hand. The tool is plenty fast for the kind of work I do - although I don't do high volume fabrication. This is perfect for people with HVAC and automotive projects, gutter and downspout work and such. This rivet tool offers a huge advantage over hand operated tools especially in terms of reducing fatigue. The quality of the rivet fit and finish is generally better than a hand tool as well. The nose of the tool is about an inch and a half long making it fairly easy to get into tight spaces. It has nose pieces to handle 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, and 3/16 rivets in any material including stainless, and these store conveniently on the tool itself. The spent pop rivet stems do not always fall into the collector but not really a big deal for me since my manual tool did not have a collector. Its a beefy well made tool, and after you start using it you will end up looking for things to rivet together. I certainly will be using more rivets vs sheet metal screws now that I have this tool. Much faster much cleaner and easy to use. Thank you Milwaukee and thank you Home Depot.

                      I really wanted to like this tool, but it is as slow to operate as a hand held, and does not pass the rivet pin through to the back holding box. The rivet pin pulls through and into the tool, but then after releasing the trigger, it comes back out the front and just sits there until you manually pull it out. You are supposed to be able to tip it backwards and have it fall into the box to hold the used pins so you can rapidly reload the tool. So two negatives on this when I could do the same thing with a hand powered tool at a lower cost. A hand powered model will also give you some tactile feedback as to how it is operating. Nice idea, but poor execution.

                      This excellent blind rivet tool far surpasses my old hand riveters. The big advantage of blind riveting is that it can be done from one side of the materials being fastened. A minor disadvantage is that the mandrel leaves a hole that might need to be filled and will slightly reduce the strength of the join, everything else being equal. I purchased my first hand riveter over 50 years ago in order to build an auto body and setting the thousands of rivets was an exhausting business. If I had this tool the job would have been faster and much less tiring. This tool has multiple heads to set 3/32 in., 1/8 in., 5/32 in. and 3/16 in. rivets. It also has a mandrel collector which is a great time saver if you have ever used manual riveters and had to collect hundreds of mandrels. As you start to press the trigger a work-light is turned on and the current battery capacity is displayed by a set of LEDs. All in all a very nice design.
