If this gun can handle 1/4" structural steel rivets in a reliable fashion, it will be an instant hit for tons of heavy truck and bus guys along with manufacturers. No more air hoses all over the place getting brand new panels dirty. BTW, the upper loop is likely more for attachment to retractable tool balancers or safety cables for use in production environments.
Do your research before making comments about the tools you’re showing. The M12 can pull a steel rivet up to 3/16” in size - that’s the largest rivet it accepts. You can’t use it on 1/4” rivets regardless of what they’re made of!
If this is a tool that you use to put food on your table , you will eat better. Those old pop rivet guns sucked. I guess I'll see if it holds up , I have friend who cannot wait for this to hit the shelves. Great vid brother
every tool has it's purpose and Milwaukee knows what time it is, this is the 21st century time is money the diy or pro knows if he or she could use this tool in their arsenal.
Damn.... id never thought id see a Milwaukee tool more expensive than a tool truck brand equivalent . The Matco tools 1/4 rivet gun MCL20RG bare tool is $550 and kit is $750.
I mean this is definitely a nicer gun than the matco since the milwaukee has one key and can track and inventory the tool. It also has more pulling force and a place to put your nose cone on the gun.
I totally understand, and kinda agree with you. It's definitely a high price, but I don't think that Matco pulls near as fast as the Milwaukee. At the same time, do you Need it to be that fast?! I guess only the consumer can really answer that question. Thanks for watching.
your ripping yourself off if you buy it and have any use for it,but on the other hand if you have projects and you use this gun periodically it's great and especially if your making money doing it.
Not to mention, pneumatic rivet tools in a similar class from Huck, Cherry, and POP start out at $1500 and go up from there. And they don't even come with multiple nosepieces.
@@Shoptoolreviews Thanks for reviewing the 12v as well. I had my eye on that one since I'm just a guy that likes to fix things every now and then so I was curious how that performed vs the 18v. Great job!
I don't believe that they're upgrades the M12 anytime soon. These are really completely different tools, or at least they're used in different arenas. Thanks for watching.
Yes, you're probably right; however, I don't believe that Snap-On has a rivet gun like this. Also, let me be clear, I'm not trying to compare the two or say one is better than the other....yet. I'm just saying this is the fastest rivet gun I've ever used. With that being said, do you need a rivet gun that fast? Should you pay $800 for a rivet gun? That's a decision for the buyer, for sure. I guess I'm saying, I don't disagree with you, but I'm not sure that I totally agree either. Wow, that sounded really political, didn't it?! ;) Thanks for watching.
