The JiGiU Rivet Nut Tool Rivet Gun Reamer 3-in-1 is a versatile and well-rounded kit for DIY enthusiasts and professionals. This comprehensive set includes four mandrels, four rivet heads, two reaming mandrels, 40 rivets, and 40 nuts, all in Imperial standards. Here is a deeper look into the pros, cons, and key features of this tool:ProsComplete Set with Accessories:The kit includes everything you need for a variety of projects, from pop rivets to screw nut rivets. With four interchangeable mandrels (M3, M4, M5, and M6), four rivet heads (3/32", 1/8", 5/32", and 3/16"), and two reaming mandrels, the tool is well-equipped to handle different fastening tasks. This makes it a convenient, all-in-one solution, reducing the need to purchase additional parts separately.360° Rotating Head:One standout feature is the 360° swivel head, allowing easy access to tight or hard-to-reach areas. This flexibility is advantageous in confined spaces where a standard rivet gun might be challenging to maneuver. The rotating head design adds versatility, making the tool adaptable to various applications and angles.Straightforward Instructions for Changing Sizes and Types:The tool comes with clear, user-friendly instructions, making switching between different mandrels and rivet heads relatively simple. This ease of use is a crucial advantage, especially for users needing to become more familiar with rivet guns. The process is intuitive, and the kit includes everything necessary for quick changes.ConsM3 Mandrel Quality Issue:A notable drawback of this tool is the quality and length of the M3 mandrel. During use, the M3 mandrel does not fully engage the threads of the screw nut rivet, causing the nut to strip out before it can be fully compressed. This issue compromises the reliability of the smaller-sized mandrels, making them less suitable for tasks requiring precise M3 installations. This could be a manufacturing flaw or a design oversight that needs addressing.Ergonomics Not Ideal for All Users:The tool handles are designed for larger hands, requiring a wide grip and significant hand strength to operate effectively. Users with smaller hands or limited grip strength may need help to achieve enough leverage, potentially causing fatigue or discomfort during extended use. A more ergonomic handle design with adjustable grip options could enhance usability for a broader range of users.Limited Performance for 6-32 Rivet Nut Mandrel:The 6-32 rivet nut mandrel, in particular, needs to be better optimized. It does not fully engage the threads of the rivet nut, leading to stripping before the rivet is compressed correctly. This can be a significant drawback for projects that rely on smaller rivet nuts, affecting the tool's overall reliability and versatility.Final VerdictThe JiGiU Rivet Nut Tool Rivet Gun Reamer 3 in-1 offers a good range of features and accessories, making it a versatile addition to any toolkit. Its rotating head and comprehensive components are definite highlights, providing flexibility and convenience. However, issues with the M3 and 6-32 mandrels and the ergonomic shortcomings limit its overall performance.While it performs well in many aspects, these flaws must be noticed, especially for users who frequently work with smaller-sized rivet nuts. Given these considerations, I rate this product 3 out of 5 stars. It has strong potential, but improvements in mandrel quality and handle ergonomics would make it a more reliable and user-friendly tool.

Doesn’t work good at all. Rivets get jammed and threaded rivets take a gorilla in a man suit to squeeze. Got one to go and said screw it. Bought a different one.

Reasonably packaged. Unfortunately the 6-32 is not usable. Not enough thread engagement for the rivnut and it will just pull the threads out. Only tested with the provided steel rivnuts. Aluminum is a possibility. 10-24 worked fine. Haven't tested anything else. Otherwise the kit feels reasonably solid for the price. Shame with the slight oversight. Those with a lathe could fix the issues of thread engagement.

I like it its versatile and does a decent job. Limited to what size of rivet nuts you can use. Wish there were more options for thar like metric and standard in all sizes.Instruction book was ok.

This riveter is well made, sturdy, and gets the job done with ease. I've placed about 30 rivets with it so far and its still tight and true. 10/10

This is a well made very sturdy Rivet nut tool. The tool works very smoothly and with very little effort. What I really like is the 360 degree rotating head. I was building a radiator housing from sheet aluminum in a vehicle and some of the angels were hard to reach but by being able to rotate the head I managed to add several nuts without having to remove a bunch of in the way stuff! You can use the tool to install pop rivets and there is also a reamer attachment. They call it a reamer which was confusing until I used the what I call nibbler because it is designed to cut small notches in sheet metal. It works very well and easy. A tool for the professional!

I liked how tight and sturdy the tool construction is, heavy duty. Operation of it was flawless while riveting. I haven't used the other features of it yet but I expect I will appreciate it when setting rivet nuts. I'll update this review soon after I have a chance to do that. I figured having a rotating head would be a good thing but it takes some getting used to, to keep it from working against you. I'm very happy with it over all.

Works perfectly as a rivet gun.I haven't used for other things...I would have to experiment how to do it.The handles are far apart more than I can grip, so for me, it is a two-hand job.No instructions provided.It is difficult to get the snapped stem buried deep in the grip mechanism.How to remove it: Use another rivet to push the snapped stem out the rear of the device.

very strong puts rivets in with ease and tread nuts, works best if you do each thread nut in 3 separate pumps, but it puts them in very tight and the handles are very strong but if try to do thread nuts in one pump they might bend if your strong enough , best rivet machine i have ever owned i would buy again
