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

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.

Great tool

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.

Look good

Comfortable grip

I don’t remember ever leaving a bad review on an Amazon product, but I’d like to help others to not make a terrible investment. I had been a sheet metal worker for over 15 years and this is the worst rivet gun I’ve ever used. I read a few reviews minutes after I made the purchase and found out that it came with only aluminum rivets. Okay, so I assumed it was a cheap low quality product but would still at least be good for aluminum rivets only. Many people had stated that just putting in the first rivet, they would have to pull the rivets out of the tool, because it failed to eject them. But I had assumed that it was with only steel or stainless steel rivets that it would have a problem. I assumed that it was still good for aluminum rivets because it does have pretty high ratings. The product itself looks really great, you would think that it would compare to some of the best riveters out there. But it truly is not the case. The first, very first rivet got stuck and I had serious problems pulling it but. The only way I was able to get that rivet out, was to depress the three rivet holding tabs and I finally was able to pull it out. If you have ever used a rivet gun that is good, you would know that you should never have that problem. Having a problem pulling a rivet stem out is very counterproductive to work. They should slide right out. I don’t know how else to express. Anyhow, I thought that I was going to keep the riveter at least for home personal use and not at actual work. So I wrote my name and company on this tool with a permanent paint marker , and so now I know that I will not be able to return it. I can’t believe I spent almost $30 on a waste. Please don’t make the same mistake! I’m trying to help you bro. I have purchased and am waiting for Amazon to send me a much better product that I ordered right after I had realized that this was only good for aluminum rivets, but actually it’s only good for the case because the good riveter that I am waiting for is shaped almost identical. I am assuming that it will fit perfectly. Hopefully I’m right, because I had assumed wrongly, that this riveter was at least good for aluminum rivets. Maybe it will be better to never assume. In this day and age, people and things are not always what they appear to be.

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.

STARTED out great, easy, handy, nice case. used about dozen separate times. Running into problems now with the heads not gripping then if they do grip and complete the task, the stem gets stuck inside the gun. have to completely dismantle, pull off all the heads and grip teeth, reassemble and continue with task at hand, seems every time now is an issue. - you get for what you pay for. pretty disappointed.

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
