Turn the music way down or off
edward farmer TURN DOWN FOR WHAT!!! 🎶 🎼 🎵 🎶🎶🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎶🎼🎶🎵
WRONG!!!!! TURN THAT SHIT UP
Turn your hearing aid down.
Thanks for getting this review up. Tip: turn down the music volume when you are using the tool and nararating. We want to hear the tool at work and your comments
Thanks badger, I just purchased a new software that I can bring the volume down even more. The one I was using only let me bring it to this level. Thanks for the comment!
I don’t think the music is loud enough.
Yeah, I have my volume all the way up and can barely hear it, next time it should be louder
🤣
Yea, that music was literally loud as hell
What?
Should be AC DC for power tools black in black
This is probably my favorite tool i own.. if you put in lots of rivets it is a must have
Nice. Honestly never even knew this existed. Will definitely be buying one for sure.
Great video!! Glad to see it does the big rivets. 👏👏
I used to build and modify Toyota Landcruisers for the mining industry here in northern Ontario in Canada and this thing saved our hands that's for sure. Saved us so much time also. I'm actually looking to buy one for personal use now.
i just got mine yesterday. very happy with my purchase
From looking at it, the collection at the back is pretty cool!
I've got one, it rocks. No problem installing 3/16 steal rivets.
What I noticed is he only used aluminum rivets. A true test of any riveting tool, hand or power is when fastening (pulling) Stainless Steel rivets. If I am going to spend $200 plus for a cordless riveting tool it has to pull 1/4" SS rivets all day long else I will stay with my $100 pneumatic or $40 longhandle.
Nice review. Just got mine and thought you had to take the nose housing off to change the nose piece for different size rivets, but you showed you just unscrew the nose pice. Your vid saved me some trouble. Thanks
Awesome, thanks for the feedback Lone!!!
Awesome review, this should work awesome for ceiling grid. I’ve been holding off but now I’m gonna “pull the trigger”! Thanks!
Won't be disappointed bro!

Wow! Absolutely riveting!
I almost understood what you said over the music. 😂 4 year old video but I just came across this tool (the need for it) so I really appreciate the review. 💯
This rivet gun is sweet I haven’t used it much but it works excellent didn’t sting my hand once
I've done Autobody for 36 years now and going to get one of these... better than 3 hands... thanks for the review
Absolutely bro, and thanks for the comment
even the cordless drill adapter ones work wicked good. for super short money they are sweet. the M12 is nice too.
@@ToolReviewZone w up men how much cost need 1 do L body work better for me
Great review!
I use this to put on license plates for new uhaul trucks plus a few other odd jobs. Dozens and dozens a day, and before this id use a manual gun. Damn near changed my life.
I wanna see a million views on this badass review!
Haha yeah buddy
i can't wait for the 1/4" steel rivet version
@Shawn Evans milwaukee too now, both in the $1000 CDN range. insane.
This is not the only battery rivet gun available on the market. Stanley make good ones as well. Also, if the stems break clean, it is not because of the tool. It’s because you put the right size nose tip and you use a well made rivet. By the way, if you are looking for better and more versatile rivets, check Avdel rivet solutions. “Pop” style rivets don’t last under vibration, constant tensile and shear pressures.
Been looking for one but never in stock. Thanks for showing it. Also want the miwaukee caulking gun.
Next time make the music louder I can hardly hear it
Ok
Yes the music volume is awesome! I can almost hear him talking over it.... almost :(
Hahahahahahahahahshshshahshsaaahaha Idk why of all the music comments this one made me laugh the most
When making these videos there isn’t a way to actually know how the volume will be unless you use software that has a balancing feature. It’s one of those things you learn over time. Give him a break. 🤷♂️
Wish I had this today. Got a brand new rivet gun from silverline but broke after 15 rivets. Could used this.
Would prefer one that can pop 1/4"
God I would have killed to have had one of those back when I worked at a truck shop where we worked on boxes a lot with riveted tin sides, if there wasn't room in a bay or you had to work on one outside for some reason you'd have to drag out a bunch of air hose. I was lucky enough however to have what I believe was the first set of battery powered tin shears so when I needed some tin I didn't have to put the roll that was on the side of the building on a cart and roll it inside or drag a whole bunch of air hose outside to reach to the side of the building which was sick! All the other guys that had power tin shears had pneumatic ones and they were all jealous of my battery powered ones and they all pretty much never asked me to use them cuz they know how protective and OCD I am of my tools. I would let my friend Gary use them but he was the only one cuz i trusted him with my tools he knew the rule of you break it you buy it and I trusted him.
That's awesome, now just need a m18 that will do 1/4" mega locks and I'd buy it the day it comes out
@@JohnDoe-ig9ev Hey u laugh, my work $800 would be well spent on it
Great video thank you..
We really love your channel, your every update is very interesting and scientific, we appreciate your efforts and your informative idea. We subscribed to your channel because we have the same content.
They work great!
I bought one of these and took it back as the small rivet stems get jammed , the internal carrier tube to the rivet collecter needs to be interchangeable to suit the rivet size . I found I was always disassembling it .
Mine to was getting jammed all day 4 or 5 riverts was stuck in the tube don't no why???
For automotive use you really need possibly to pop 1/4” rivets
Great music video on rivet guns.
I have this riveter ran through 60,000 rivets in 3 months no problem and easy to do the maintenance. It gets hot after a few hours but it's awesome other than that.
At the 2:23 mark in the video when you state "alright guys let's do some work here" I see that you have the drill in reverse. I first thought that you had a dull drill bit as it wasn't cutting, then noticed the the chuck was going the wrong way! LOL
74Willy haha, holly crap your right. That's kida funny
I mean its not like you do tool reviews or anything :o
A must have pop-rivit tool if building aluminum boat.
I think milwaukee should have added some rubber bumpers at the top so when you lay the tool down it doesn't get all dinged and scratched up. My metal top looks pretty rough after a friend borrowed it and was apparently kicking around on the floor???
Aluminum rivets are easy, the specs state that it can do Stainless 3/16th rivets. Any luck with that?
Amazing video EJM Demon sent me over Subbed
Whats up Antonio! Welcome to the Zone bro. EJM is the man!
@@ToolReviewZone thanks for the welcome
4th of july sale some milwuakee tools are up to 45% off at home depot. like a 6pc power tool set for 300 bucks for the 12 volt right now
Yeah bro, they got some awesome deals going on right now
Thank your for you time and effort in order to produce this review. I only wish it came in 18 volts.
Don’t need it in 18, that would just make it heavier. Be happy and buy into the M12 line 👍🏼
Good video, and review. But like others have said, please turn the music off while your talking. Thanks for the review.
So this doesn’t work with nutserts/rivnuts I’m asuming?
I returned this tool to home depot. For the record, I own and love/like all of my Fuel tools (to date I own 15 different tools). This tool just jammed to much. It is generally good with smooth mandrel rivets, but every single rivet with serrated mandrels gets jammed. It took me a half hour to free up the last one.
How do you get them out? Mine jammed :(
So, don’t use serrated then.
Nice I've been wondering about this riveter.
Yeah its really cool and works great Zagan!
Excellent
How do you stop it pushing rivet out the end? It will not drop the sharft in the catcher.
What gun should I get if I’m in auto collision repair. The m18 that does 1/4 or will this m12 be fine
This is great! At work (sheet metal) we use a gesipa cordless riveter. Curious how this compares with the gesipa given the ridiculous difference in price.
Hey Noonce, It really is a great tool. I was really surprised with how well it actually worked. Also seems to be very popular
Tool Review Zone I'm definitely going to have to start a m12 collection with this riveter.
If you get it, let me know how you like it bro. I let a guy that uses rivets every day try it, and he loved it too.
Tool Review Zone did you have had some issues using this tools, usually rivets gun manual or air tool gets damage, so I read some coments about this tools , kinda jammed issues , I wanna buy this tools but a don’t wanna spend my money and be wrong cause it worth 200+ ...dollars , how was the gun with the 2years using? Your experience. Any issues? Thanks
The Milwaukee pop rivet gun needs a built in radio with subwoofer....
Wow, sweet !
Hellow, thanks for sharing, nice tool. I just wana make a suggestion: use manual focus when making fixed shots, the distance between the camera and the subject does not change so you dont need auto focus, on hand camera shots.. then you can use auto foucus. Sincerely it's awkward seeng the camera trying to focusing nothing. BR and success.
Yeah that's what I used before then people started complaining that they did not like it and wanted me to turn it off. Can't make everyone happy I guess, but thanks for the feedback
I Like... Amazing tool
Use 3/16 stainless rivets thats where this tool shines. Put over 3000 3/16 rivets thru that tool and it saved my hands.
I think they need to make a rivnut version now
I want one!!!! I don't need it but I want one!!!!
I will be using this to build Tesla solar roofs. Will update once it’s got some field use.
Deburring the holes on both sides in not your strength, the deburr will weaken the rivet.
Bernhard Tabert it’s just a demo dude!
Using 3/16” rivots how thick can the metal be???
Nice
Badass!!!
This rivet review is riveting!
Lol
awesome
Do they sell a die for setting nuts?
great work you guys did keep it up,how much can I get that machine
Thanks Joseph! I put a link in the description for you to check it out
Looks like it works great. On aluminum. What about stainless steel rivets? Do the same test with stainless and I'll buy one tomorrow.
There was a comment left buy someone a while ago stating that worked perfectly with steel rivets
I tested it with 1/8" stainless steel rivets and it performed great.
Wow! I can hardly believe it. Well, I guess I better check my bank balance...
@@DoresoomReviews Also used mine with 1/8" stainless rivets for field work. Works great and so much faster and easier than a hand rivet gun.
Is it compatible with plastic rivets?
didn't they have air ones 20 years ago?
what does one do with rivets
does it work with riv-nuts?
I reeeeeeeeally hope they updated it with a swivel head😣
i;d like to see this used on a 70;s era arctic cat cleated track snowmobile
Hi was this filmed in real time or film in faster time ??
Hi ray, most was filmed in real time, but the part when I did a bunch in a row was sped up a bit
we use them at Stulz for AC construction. They work OK for about a year then suddenly have trouble grabbing and extracting the pin. I keep saying we need to use AC or air tools for pop rivets. No one listens to me. They love their battery operated gear too much.
Just a heads up, you can buy replacement jaws for this tool. They're consumable, especially if you use a lot of 3/16" steel rivets. Put a new set in yours, and it'll probably run about like it did when you bought it.
Nice tool and review..but is it really necessary to play the annoying noise in the background?
Will it pull a CherryMAX?
Do you got some stickers I can put on my toolbox tool review zone
Sure do buddy. Send me your information at toolreviewzone@gmail.com
All good,but how much is it? Unless you need to pop rivet every other day, it's probably not worth it, with cost of tools, batteries.etc, especially if you don't have any Milwaukee tools to begin with!
I'll agree with that. This is for someone that uses rivets on a daily basis or in a body shop.
wish this gun is lighter. for me as a roofer, i value weight a lot more. nice to have.
Try it using aviation cherry max rivets. That would be the true test.
this tool is awesome for auto body sheet metal repair who gives a rats ass about anything else
Will this work with aviation grade rivets like "CherryMax" or "Huck"?
Hey Ruttigorn. I haven't tried them, but if it falls in the size range I can't see why they wouldn't.
Can you use this in aviation
I noticed you're using aluminum rivets. Did you try any steel rivets?
Hey Jon, only what the deeps had on stock. I can tell you though they won't be an issue
From where I can get that thing's ?
Where do I buy Milwaukee m12 in South Africa
، واقعا عالیه
Would you please re upload without the music for those with hearing and auditory processing issues.

Music too loud. Distracting to what your trying to focus on. Tks. Good review
رائع ومفيد جدا
How much does it cost
Sorry man but could you Tell me How much is this machine cuz the link do not worked, pls
Thanks for the heads up on the link Juarez! I reposted it in the description, but its $169 bare tool
Where can I get this
Good information, but turn down the music in the background! It's distracting and makes it hard to hear you.
This product kerala available? Kerala price?
this is a handy tool.. pumping those rivets and sometimes they wouldn't come out well is tiresome
Muita tecnologia
I want to see if it does a stainless rivet.
Me too
I'm gonna keep posting on every Milwaukee review...why no m18 framing nailer? So pissed I had to buy a paslode when I have a dozen or more m18 batteries.
It may not be to far off Robert. I just have a feeling that it may be coming soon bro
