No instructions provided. Got lucky and found a video online. Its is faster than a using a rivet gun but after each rivet you have to remove the toll from drill & unscrew it so it can let go of rivet. Less stress on arms ands hands(kinda) but having to remove tool after each rivet doesnt save a lot of time.

I have a pneumatic rivet gun, but I thought this would be convenient for situations where it's difficult to get the air compressor to. And I've seen versions of these that work well. This one does not work well. Buy a better quality version, or a hand riveter, this thing sucks. I would return it, but by the 3rd rivet it had to be completely disassembled to get the stem out, and one of the jaw pieces fell through the cracks in my deck.

At the price I had to try this tool. I was pleasantly surprised. My carpal tunnel syndrome thanks the manufacturer profusely! Now I'll choose this tool over the squeeze tool even for installing just one rivet!Once the tool is assembled, you just run the drill forward to set rivet, then backward to eject the spent mandrel.The hard part of the whole thing is keeping your hand off the drill chuck when you run it in reverse. If you keep the weak hand on the provided handle all the time you'll be good. I found having the rivets loaded into their respective holes also doubles speed overall. You can run many rivets in without removing either hand from the tool. In this fashion I can easily knock out 30 or more rivets per minute.If you need more volume than that, you're probably going to need to look at a pneumatic tool.

It is a little awkward to use, given its size, but it works well.

This blind rivet adapter from the Hoteche Store is a great tool. I have several other blind rivet tools, one is over 50-years old, but they all operate by hand, squeezing the tool like a pair of pliers, and I have carpal tunnel syndrome, and arthritis in both hands, so it's getting difficult to squeeze rivets.This tool came in one of those bubble packages that you have to cut open with scissors. On the backside of the paper insert it has directions, written in Engrish. Not a lot of help, but I played around with the tool and figured it out. It wasn't that hard. The drill only goes in two directions and one direction has to set the rivet and break the mandrel, the other direction pushes the mandrel out and releases it, making it ready for another rivet. So if you run the drill anti-clockwise it will get to the end and then ratchet, so it won't bind or strip the mechanism. Then insert the rivet assembly into the tool, and into whatever you are riveting, and then run the drill clockwise until the rivet sets and the mandrel breaks. Then run the drill anti-clockwise until the tool spits out the broken mandrel. At this point you are ready to insert another rivet into the nose of the tool.The tool comes with several sizes of nose pieces for different size rivets and mandrels. It works best if you use the correct size. Mine had little o-rings on each nose piece, which break easily and aren't needed. The PVC handle is cheesy and cheaply made, but it works. The metal box end wrench is good for holding the nose pieces. It would have been nice to have a blo-mold case to keep everything together, but that would have increased the selling price.Even when I get proficient with this tool, it will take me longer to set rivets with it than it will with my hand tools, but I know there will be occasions where I will be really glad I have it. I'm thinking of those rivets with the 3/16-inch mandrels that take three men and a boy to pop.The hex shank is larger than the hex shanks used on drill drivers and bits. I would have preferred to be able to use my drill driver, because it is more compact, but maybe the designers felt that most drill drivers don't have enough torque to do the job, whereas most drills do, hence the larger shank.

Can't figure out how to use. No instructions came with item and can't even find You Tube instructions on how to use. Would be great if could figure out how to use it!

Just received this package opened it up... It looks great but :-( when I unscrewed the chuck the washer was broke that is on the chuck then when I unscrewed the head this little flat metal washer fell out that had been crushed that was inside. I'm unable to insert a rivet I am returning this item.

Works as expected. Is not as ergonomically comfortable as the manual tool but does provide relief due to economies of scale.
