VeeTeeArr Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Rivet gun, drill adaptor. Has anyone here used one? Are they any good? I was just looking for a fathers day gift, so looking through tools on ebay with nothing really in mind. It's not something that will be used a lot but it's something I know he doesn't have. So am I wasting my money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novarally Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I'd be interested in knowing the same answers as the OP, if anyone has experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbolt Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I have seen these, but I haven’t used one, I have used a battery rivet gun and an air rivet gun and they were very good https://www.sgs-engineering.com/milwaukee-m12bprt-201x-pop-rivet-tool-kit?gclid=Cj0KCQjwrIf3BRD1ARIsAMuugNs1W0Qfhe59vfhKrKqQX0jSYENyD4Hwczc0hrAFH0XnOeOYHo0YjNAaAl2wEALw_wcB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeTeeArr Posted June 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 We have a 3/16-5mm air riveter and a 1/4-6mm air riveter at work and they are great but not very portable. The battery riveter looks good, but for something that will be used very occasionally it's a bit too pricey. I'll take the plunge and get one of the drill driven ones and report back when I've tried it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damnthistinleg Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 It all looks like a bit of unnecessary chew. Does it really get any better or easier than a decent 'Lazy Tong' riveter hanging on a nail in the workshop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeTeeArr Posted June 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 You haven't always got the room to get the lazy tong in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
