NEU MASTER Rivet Gun, Pop Rivet Tool Kit with 200 Rivets & Carrying Case

Nice rivet gun! Worked for my needs!

Plus and Minus The Tool is great, the case, not so much. + Unit feels sturdy + One handed operation. Frees your other hand to hold pieces together. + Compact size compared to the standard Arrow version + Rivet head changes without tools. No wrench to lose. + Case is sturdy - The case buckles feel cheap. Worry they might break at some point - - The case has small pockets to hold rivets, great! But the pockets arent designed well and the rivets don't stay in them. Carry the case by around, the rivets get strewn about the entire case. You need to keep the rivets in a bags or something. Since you can't easily store rivets in the case, the case is much larger than it needs to be. I'm debating whether I need the case or not as it just takes up space.

This is a fine homeowner rivet gun. I had to put some rivets in a rain gutter, and it did just fine. I chose this particular rivet gun, which was similarly priced to others, mostly because one of the pictures showed the included rivets in compartments in the case. There are compartments in the case, but they only work if the case stays flat. When you pick up the case by the handle, all of the rivets fall out of their compartments because the compartmentalization is only on the bottom half with nothing on the top half to keep them in place. The rivets come in 4 plastic wrappers, but they are heat-sealed, so just tearing them open didn't lend itself to reuse. It would have been nice to either have compartmentalization on the top half of the case or even just ship the rivets in zip-lock bags that fit the compartments. Fortunately, I order enough stuff with zip-lock bags that I was able to re-purpose 3 of them for use in the case. I ended up just storing the larger rivets in a bag that fit the compartment. This review took me less time to write than the time it took me to neatly organize the rivets in their intended compartments, only to have them run wild when I closed the case and picked it up to put away, followed by the redo above.

Nice heavy-duty construction in a decent carrying case. The only difficulty was the first couple of rivet shafts became stuck in the tool, and took a bit of work to get them out. Once a few rivets were done, it became much easier and worked as expected. As described, it does work with both aluminum and steel rivets. I would purchase again if needed.

This thing is great, works perfect, easy to use

Hey. I only need to install three rivets in my camper's awning motor drive. I saw that several folks had already complained about this unit having a problem with rivets jamming in the gun. Little did I suspect the measure of this problem. Straight out of the carton, I used the gun without need for changing the head. Guess what. It jammed. Thankfully, the rivet was already set in the awning motor. Ok. So disassemble the unit and forceably remove the rivet. No so easy as it sounds. I had to remove the sizing head, then the main drive head of the unit. Next push the clamps back with a small screwdriver, followed by prys to twist and pull before the rivet shaft released. So, I go forward by applying a light grease to the nest rivet. OH NO. Same problem. Another jam, another disassembly, and more aggravation. Can't use a smaller rivet; that won't work with my awning connections. I needed three rivets to make this project work. Thus, I dissemble the unit three times, the last one as a curtsy so I could return the unit at least as it arrived. In my view, the NEU Master Rivet Gun is trash. I'm returning it for a refund, thanks to Amazon's cool return policy. As to the gun. Find another one.

Work great meet all my expectations.

not so sure about this product d rivets started slippin

Was so disappointed in this item. It jams in the pin every time and you have to spend so much time and effort to to remove the pin. John
