Hand riveter designed for aluminum, copper, steel, and stainless steel blind rivets.
Average but decent for its €20 price, essentially the same tool can be found at almost double the price with a different name. It is suitable for occasional, short-term use but not more because it quickly becomes tiring. A positive aspect for me is that it comes with enough screws for the first small jobs.
The screwdriver has a thick body, so there is no risk of it bending under heavy pressure as I feared.
As soon as I got it, I decided to test it, I attached the M3 tip and a screw, and as soon as I applied a little more force, the tip broke - so no more M3 screwing from the start. It might be my fault since I don't have experience, but I didn't exert too much force.
For larger diameters, it requires a lot of force, and anyone with small hands will struggle somewhat.
When unscrewing the tip from the screw, it constantly gets stuck, it's a real pain. I held it with pliers and I'm thinking of gluing a handle to be able to twist it.
I did some tests, and no screw "bit" completely uniformly. However, the ones I installed so far seem to hold up correctly.
[Update 15/7/22] +1 star because it has been doing the job so far. It provided a permanent solution for aluminum frames where sheet metal screws were damaging the material and getting worn out.
