  • This product works great!
Style: Tool
I had to use a 3/16" X 1/2" blind aluminum rivet and I tried to use a heavy duty rivet tool. I couldn't get the rivet to hardly even flare let alone complete the job. I was looking at purchasing a battery operated riveting tool, when I found this during my search. It was at least 1/2 the price of the battery operated tools and after seeing the video, I decided to try it. I already have a few battery operated drivers that could handle this. When I received this, I read the instructions and care pamphlet. It was easy to get started, but the tool's jaws wouldn't open up to accept the rivet mandrel. I worked with it for a little bit and they opened. When I used it, the rivet was 'grabbed' by the tool and was easy to insert into the hole and it wasn't difficult to hold the tool and power my driver. In just seconds the rivet set and the mandrel was cut off. When I reversed the driver to reverse the tool, the mandrel was pushed out out of the tool. I used this again and it worked great. It set the rivets that the manual hand tool couldn't. It's a time saver and didn't kill my hands like a manual riveting tool does It appears to be a very well manufactured tool that operates smoothly. The nose pieces were easy to change with the included wrench. (FYI - I used small groove pliers with a protective rag to hold the body while I removed the nose piece.) The case is nice, but removing the nose pieces and placing them back into their slot can be a job! I would highly recommend this tool and would definitely buy it again. Note - I was not compensated in any manner for this review. ... show more

  • Quality tool that is faster and easier than a traditional hand tool for pop rivets Quality tool that is faster and easier than a traditional hand tool for pop rivets
Style: Tool
I bought one of these Astro model ADR14 tools to use instead of my collection of three hand rivet tools (the traditional pliers style), because my old arthritic hands don't like squeezing the levers anymore. The tool chucks up into any drill motor, whether it is cordless electric, corded electric, pneumatic, as long as that drill motor has a slow-speed/high-torque mode that can allow its use as a screwdriver. The back end of the tool has a conventional 1/4" hex shaft, just like any screwdriver bit you could chuck up in a drill. The manufacturer recommends that for best results, a cordless drill motor should have an 18V battery; cordless drills with lesser batteries such as 12V and 14.4V, etc; will still work, but will not be able to deliver enough torque for large sizes of pop rivet, or pop rivets made of harder materials such as steel, or if they work they might exhaust a lesser battery after setting just a few rivets. The tool comes with a blow-molded case that holds it and the six included 'nosepieces" (3/32", 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4"), plus the included small wrench that is used to change nosepieces on the tool. In a rather significant screw-up, the case is configured to precisely fit the tool with the 1/4" nosepiece installed, but that nosepiece has a shallower nut on its end, and some of the other nosepieces have a deeper nut, and if any of those are installed on the tool, it will not fit into the case; I used an X-Acto knife to carve out a bit of plastic to allow ANY nosepiece to fit. The tool has a maximum mandrel draw distance of 0.5" (1/2"). This means that in order for this tool to properly set (install) a pop rivet, there can be no more than 0.5" of the rivet extending past the materials being joined by the rivet, when you initially stick the rivet through those pieces. I should clarify that the mandrel's "head" at the end of the rivet does not count in this measurement; only the body of the rivet itself is important here. Note that Astro also has a nearly identical tool, model ADR36, which costs a few dollars less, but which is not rated for the larger 5/32" and 1/4" rivets, and its kit does not include those nosepieces. Astro's website suggests that the ADR36's maximum mandrel draw is 0.7", which is a bit longer than the ADR14's maximum draw of 0.5". Except for that, I don't see any reason to buy the ADR36 instead of the ADR14. This tool is designed for use with pop-rivets (blind rivets) made from aluminum, copper, steel, and stainless steel. The harder materials and/or the larger sizes require the most torque from the drill motor you use. The entire tool is made of CNC machined aluminum and steel parts, and it can all come apart for repair or replacement of any component, if needed. Mostly it screws apart, but at least one snap ring is used as well. In practice, you use this tool just like a traditional hand rivet tool, except your drill motor does the work of drawing back on the rivets' mandrels. Run the drill motor clockwise to draw, and reverse it to counterclockwise to loosen the internal draw chuck and drive the snapped-off mandrel out of the tool. You must hold onto the knurled body of the tool when running the drill motor, otherwise the whole tool will spin rather than draw on the rivet's mandrel. However, you don't need to grip the tool tightly, just a light and easy grip is required. I can't fault anything about this tool (except for the aforementioned case snafu). It seems to be a very good design, well manufactured from quality materials and well packaged. ... show more

  • Works well when you follow the directions.
Style: Tool
Have used it a couple of times. It makes installing larger pop rivets a breeze...But...make sure you follow the directions and USE THE CORRECT SIZE MANDREL FOR EACH SIZE RIVET YOU ARE INSTALLING! If not, it will jam.

I was putting in stainless rivets and they are so difficult using a hand operated pop riveter. This makes it easy using your power drill.

  • A real hand saver for setting pop rivets
Style: Tool
The kitchen at my local church has a large rolling cart that is used to transport heavy items each week to move groceries obtained on shopping trips. Over the years, the welds in the cart had fatigued and cracked badly and the rolling cart was very weak when loaded up with a heavy load. I used some flat aluminum strip pieces and the ADR14 XL pop riveting tool to strengthen and brace the cart nicely and return it to full capacity. It was a true hand saver for me as I popped about 60 rivets in bracing up the cart. It sets 1/8" aluminum and stainless steel pop rivets easily, and I didn't have one problem with it. My Black and Decker 18 volt Firestorm drill powered the ADR14 XL very well, and I am going to use it on another project soon, setting 5/32" large flange stainless steel rivets. I will be using 1/4" and 1/2" grip length on this next project, and I am looking forward to the ADR14 XL saving my hands on this project too. It has worked very well for me so far, and I will use it as my "go to" tool for setting pop rivets from now on. It looks to be a quality tool made out of metal with no plastic in it at all. I am glad I bought it, and it should serve me well for many years to come. ... show more

  • Waste of Money
Style: Tool
I purchased the unit to use for occasional use on projects and because it had positive reviews. When I finally had a chance to use the unit, it worked flawlessly on the first +/- 10 rivets, then it jammed. I eventually had to take the unit apart to clear the rivet. Once reassembled, the unit has never worked. It’s well beyond a return or warranty; I just never had a need to use within the limited warranty period. Don’t buy unless you have an immediate need so you can return it when it fails, otherwise you could end up with a useless clump of metal. ... show more
