Rivet Removal Tool, Rivet Removal Drill Bit, Suitable with Standard 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32" and 1/4" Rivets

Works just like they should.

Item did exactly what it was supposed to perfectly and hassle free. I was definitely surprised on how it removed the rivets without having to use a punch or pliers. One tip though , if you are removing more than one rivet clean the tool as the heads accumulate after removal. I removed 12 rivets in approximately 2 minutes without ruining the surface.

Mine arrived without a full set of bits and guides. Mine was missing the 1/8 which was the one i needed .

While it's true you can just use the appropriate drill bit and start drilling out the head, where this tool is very helpful is that once fine tuned for the operation and a little hand pressure, it will prevent the rivet from spinning while you are drilling out the head preventing damage to the surface beneath. The piece of shank that remains in the material can be knocked out with a punch if required.Now the bad news: There are absolutely no instructions, which explains some of the problems people have posted. I watched many online videos from competitors to figure out the proper operation as I'm a novice using and removing pop rivets. It worked wonderfully, but if you are not the least bit mechanically inclined and don't readily understand how things fit/work together, then you better do a boat load of research to understand how this works. Adjusting the depth of penetration for the drill bit is a must for this to work properly. I did get it sorted, but it took some experimentation before I figured out the proper adjustment.I would have rated this 5 stars if the company had just provided a link to an excellent video that carefully showed how to make the necessary adjustments along with disassembly/assembly.

It’s over engineered. You can simply drill rivets out. That’s basically all this does. The first time I used it the outer rivet-guide piece came off and is lost making the whole tool useless.

The product appears to be of great quality have not used it yet, but I am looking forward to the moment I do.

Reallly had some high hopes for this tool, removing rivets and quickly as possible rather than a portable grinder. When we used the tool either the rivet heads are too hard/ flat. The head just movers off the head of the rivet. Need a pilot divot for the drill to grab.When dealing with road signs that were done by contractors and their rivets. Trying to replace signage takes forever when you either have to hammer n chisel or wheel grind off the heads for 3,000 signsHoping we can finagle something to help

I tried it out on an 1/8" pop rivet, it worked great! You do need to be smart enough to see that it is adjustable and it does need to be adjusted. You have to adjust the nose so that the drill tip is just below flush before attempting to use it. After that, the teeth on the nose kept the rivet from spinning while drilling it out.
