RZXPneumatic Tool Air Riveter - 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", 3/16" and 1/4" Capacity with 50pcs Open End Blind Rivet (1)

Much easier than hand riveting! Very good tool!

Great pneumatic riveter for the price. I read a lot of reviews online about pneumatic riveters and found this one on Amazon. A reviewer found that it is the same unit as the Astro PR14. Even the part numbers are the same, but it is $20 cheaper and does not have Astro engraved on the handle. I received it today and it comes with all the same tools as the Astro. Five rivet size tips, an extra set of jaws and an 1/4 air adaptor are included. No instructions but it did include the parts diagram and list. I printed the Astro PR14 instructions off the Astro site and followed those for set up. Adjusted, oiled and changed tips for 3/16 rivets (comes set up for 1/4"). Turn my compressor up to 125 psi and started riveting. Worked prefect! If you are not commercially manufacturing and just want a good garage tool, I do recommend this tool. It sure has saved my old wrists from a lot of pain squeezing those old hand rivet tools.

The rivet pins are not ejecting very well, but it does work. If you are doing something that requires high production, you might want to try a more expensive unit.

I only use rivets occasionally so I had a hard time justifying an air powered tool for it. I have used the same hand powered tool for 20 years. For the price of this tool I had quality concerns so I tested it on the largest steel rivet it can handle and it performed great. I also completed a project with it requiring 10 rivets and did not have any issues. My hands and wrists are angry that I didn’t buy it sooner.

I had one that lasted years and years. Finally it failed, so I bought this one. (Actually I bought another from Amazon before this and it failed, too.) I paid a little more for this one to be sure it would serve me well. Less than a year later it is junk. This is not a tool I use every day - more like once a month, so the issue isn't wear. The issue is design. It jams. Where the air vents sticks open, so it blows and blows but won't release. Don't buy this one.

I’ve put about 100 1/4 stainless rivets through it so far. Sometimes you need a second trigger squeeze to get it to cut.

I received this order today but the plastic cup that goes on end to catch spent rivets is busted into.
