cordless rivet gun

Anybody know of a good cordless rivet gun. For pop style rivets up to 1/4??? I use my rivet gun every day…i think its time to save some time my looking for an eletric r pneumatic one. Thanx in advance fellas

You said the magic words Frank. “Cordless rivet gun”. Conductor has been wanting Milwaukee to make one for years. He should be able to help you. Conductor?

I seen some from oddball brands…if milwauke made one…im sold on it..

They are out there but they are insanely expensive. If you can write off the cost of the tool It would be worth it, or your employer will buy the tool for you.

I work at a chevy dealership…um yea.. They wouldnt ever buy me anything. Lol… The prices are insane… Even the pneumatic ones are pricey atleast from snapon and matco they are

Try ingersoll rand or Chicago pneumatic.

Havnet seen one from IR. And i stay away from chicago stuff..not a fan..especially since its tool i need on a daily.

I can’t think of any good air ones that are fairly cheap. I haven’t seen any electric ones.

Are you shitting me Charles? I’ve been wanting a cordless rivet gun for 3 years now but wasn’t willing to spend $500 on a Marson. I am super interested and I know that coming from Astro it will be a good one! Thanks X1000 for sharing!

Check out this attachment theis may be a good solution.. I wonder if i can find a review on one..

You know, I just can’t figure out why rivet tools are so damn expensive. The mechanics of them are no more complex that a hammer drill, yet the want your first born for them. The 18V Marson guns run $600-well over $1,000, and this attachment is over $200. I just don’t get it.

I don’t rivet stuff once a week, or even once a month, but if you have more than half a dozen rivets to put in a manual gun is a total pain in the ass.

There are affordable pneumatic guns available, but I’d really like to cut the cord. When we re-did a couple if panels on my father in-laws tool trailer what should have been a 2 hour job turned out to be 9.

I’m looking forward to seeing what the Astro gun can do. If I know them it will be decent quality at an affordable price.

I’ve given up on Milwaukee. The M12 rivet gun of Conductor’s dreams has become the official TIA metaphor for hell freezing over 😆

Just watch the next product symposium they show one off :0

I agree on the outrageous price. Somebodys got to make one afforadable asap… The astro to me looks just like a drill with that attachment built in. I wanna givr it a try…the 200$ is the heavy duty they also have a 70$ i beleive… But since i do 15-20 rivets a day..i think yhe hd will fit my needs…buy still 200$ \(°O°)/crap!

I agree Frankie, if you’re riveting everyday the HD is the way to go.

DR: That’s just my luck. Now that you’ve said it, you know it will happen.

Wish we knew wat milwaukee was cooking up

Check out some specs on this item via the link below:

Looks like an all in one solution to the point that if I had a riveting job, I could grab one case and be good to go. I like that ability with specialty tools.
