I charge my batteries every night and never found myself without a charged battery even on long days. Even the cleanup was easier and quicker because of the catch bin on the back to snag those little pesky pieces of metal. The M12 Rivet Tool with all its features and ease of use was such a pleasure to use, and I can say this due to the fact that it pulled the rivet on one pull of the trigger every time.

The one trigger pull on each rivet made it easier to get a tight looking job and allowed one hand to be free to help control the work as opposed to using a two-handed rivet tool. I was surprised that I did not experience the dreaded stick that usually occurs when the stem gets stuck in the head with aluminum rivets and some rivet guns. Applications include stainless steel, steel, and aluminum ranging from 26 gauges to ¼ inch in thickness and the M12 Rivet Tool tackled each job with ease. I used the M12 Rivet Tool on the most common materials and material thicknesses for my job in the HVAC trade.

The hand grip area is also well covered with a rubber overmold for gripping, and if you are working with sheet metal as well as sweating over everything in your work area in the heat, it is a must have and makes the tool very easy to hold and control while concentrating on the work at hand. Trigger-activated light that illuminates your work to help find the target in a dark environment.Lanyard tie-in for above ground work and safety.Handy belt clip that can be swapped to one side of the tool or the other.Onboard battery indicator for checking the M12 battery level.Other features that you have come to expect from Milwaukee are also included with the M12 Rivet Tool: It seems Milwaukee has thought of this also to make sure you have the mandrel wrench when you need it every time. I know almost every rivet gun I buy, I must tie the wrench to it or will come up missing in no time. There is also a wrench included with its own spot that snaps in place for that warm fuzzy feeling that lets you know that it is not going anywhere and is held in place.

The mandrels are threaded into the head of the gun as usual for any rivet tool. The rubber storage traps them in place, preventing them from getting knocked out. There are four, interchangeable mandrels marked in standard and metric with storage on the backside of the tool. There is onboard tool storage on the M12 Rivet Tool, as well as a removable bin to catch the rivet stems as they fall out the back. The M12 Rivet Tool is well thought-out and designed with many features to make every job go easier and faster. I also started using it in the shop instead of my pneumatic rivet gun. I used the M12 Rivet Tool in the field and on job sites.
