When I saw this tool I immediately liked it and decided to buy one just to try it out without putting too much money on the line.

The moment I received it, saw it and try it I congratulated myself for the decision. The design is so good and the make is so excellent I really could not beleive the HIGH quality I got for such a REASONABLE price.The plastic “rivet-end-waste” collector was a well-thought addition to the tool.

I needed to replace the window regulator on a ford e-150.This 1/4″ hand riveter was,”just the thing”.

I needed a rivet tool to install my Window Regulator on my 2000 Ford Crown Victoria. The new Dorman Window Regulator came with 7/32″ rivets. I visited numerous hardware stores in town only to find that most Hand Riveter tools only go up to 3/16″ sizes. I thought I was going to have to pay hundreds of dollars to get some kind of hydraulic rivet gun to get the job done for such a large rivet. I was wrong!! This tool is VERY sturdy and is extremely easy to use. This tool can be operated with less effort than a staple gun. I wouldn’t recommend using it for anything more than about 15 or 20 rivets as it could be time consuming.
