Stanley Hand Tools MR100CG Contractor Grade Riveter MR100CG

A Hand Pop Rivet Tool is not something I use every day of the week. Used to when I was younger, but when you need a job done well and fast its the way to go. I usually use Stainless Steel heavy duty rivits and the tool has to be strong to handle them. This Stanley does the job. I have had many other hand riveters and pnumatic ones. but this is quick portable and if Im only doing a simple job like patching the side of a Chevy Van with 100 rivets this will do it.

Egro handle is nice

Bought on the basis of brand reputation - I should have read the reviews ! Worked very well for first two packets of rivets, then wouldn't eject spent mandrels. Worse still, it then snapped off top of several mandrels, which necessitated grinding off unset rivets. Upon disassembly I found a small piece of metal loose inside the nose piece and barrel - it's either a chip from the jaws or a lump of mandrel. Can't find spare jaws on the web.

Used aboout 3 times and the gripping jaws no longer grip the shank of the rivet. I bought this to replace a cheaper Bunnings brand, believing that the Stanley brand represented quality. How wrong!

Only used for 10 rivets and now the shanks do not eject. Have to remove nose piece and depress jaws manually to extract. Also needs considerable effort to “pop” a rivet. Not good at all!

Bought this for aluminum rivets and it broke after the 5th one! Total junk wouldn't buy this ever! Will be going to a better brand! This seems really cheap for Stanley and by made very good and don't include any instuctions or parts list with it!

Bought this as use 4mm s/steel rivets almost on a daily basis, bought and used for 30 minutes and 4 days later my hands and fingers are still in agony. Have been using riviter's now for 25 years and this is by far the tightest trying to close rivets. I used to like Pop which is now part of Stanley but this is useless.

I bought this to repair my garage door, I was able to put 4 rivets in and it stopped gripping the rivet. Completely useless. No documentation on what could possibly be wrong. Worst purchase I've ever made - Don't Buy One!!!

Same as the other reviews I've done maybe 20 rivets and then one jammed in there and when I took it apart I found one of the gripping jaws broke in half. Tried searching the Internet for parts and it brought me here. Was going to send it back for warranty but after reading this I'll just buy a better one.

On the 3rd rivet it jammed and I had to disassemble the tool while still attached to the car!! Upon examination I found that the internals were damaged. VERY disappointed!!!! It is now trash!!!!
