Here is the newest version, and it runs on Milwaukee M18 batteries amzn.to/3WiOxh0

[@aaronoconnor606]

Glad you reviewed this. its nice to know there are tool companies out there that make a good quality tool thats affordable

[@richiejames928]

I bought myself the cheapest pneumatic rivet gun I could find after a job came in that required more than a bags worth of rivets. my hands wrists and elbows thanked me. anymore that about 5 using a manual rivet gun is just brutal on the body!

[@minovatool]

Tools your review is perfect as always! Fortunately I put a 4Ah battery in the package for those hemlock rivets.😁

[@Kiwigd]

I’m another Kiwi who’s keen to grab one of these.. what is the best way to source these with Aussie/NZ plugs..?

[@rollingmancave4547]

I bought it before I found your review. Great review, thanks. I'm very happy with it. I use it with 3/16 stainless rivets, and it does great.

[@txvet7738]

Lol…I’m the same way 8 battery platforms on 5 different brands! I’ve never heard of hemlock rivets before, I like them!

[@EliotTruelove]

I wonder what battery standard Minova is. Part of me wonders of it is compatible with Dewalt, Makita, Bosch, or some other battery standard, but the thermister pin is in a different location. It would be nice to rig up a battery adapter for it to use with other batteries in case you drain the ones you have.

[@minovatool]

This is a great advice. Actually we are developing battery adapters that are compatible with Bosch, Makita, Milwaukee and Dewalt.

[@Kiwigd]

@@minovatoolplease include an adapter for Hitachi/Hiloki batteries

Hello Tools 'n Stuff, where can one find those neat Hemlok rivets in NZ? Would have loved those a couple of years ago when we repaired our garage roof.

[@justanothernoobe]

Bugger! That Amazon link says they don't ship to NZ 😕 If there's an adapter to use Dewalt batteries on these, I reckon Minova will have the competition wincing.

Couldn't get the Minova in Oz as all sold out, so picked up the Bosch unit with 2 x 5ah batteries, charger and hard case for A$699 at a Black Friday sale......didn't even need one really, but for that price, well.........

[@kizzjd9578]

Thanks tools, that rivet gun isn’t available in Australia if you have another link?

[@kizzjd9578]

The bosch one was $664 aud with 2x 5ah batteries, charger and case recently. Its now $999 for the skin on its own.

[@MENUHINN]

The kit price at Sydney Tool now is back to $664🎉

[@mounty8807]

.... still waiting for someone to bring out a battery rivet gun for threaded rivets.... Nonetheless, again, great content!!!

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Plenty of companies now do rivet nut machines, including the company in this video.

[@riba2233]

ok the price difference is huge, and it looks like it works pretty well. didn't know about those hemlock rivets, they look really neat! regarding the wall battery storage, maybe it would be more space efficient (and easier to pull) if they were mounted under some horizontal shelves, so you can pull them out perpendicular to the wall and you could stack them right one on top of another

[@pete_lind]

There is a bit air in power tool prices , of course that brand name on the side cost money. Just got Makita DLW 140, 36v metal cut saw, sold at 1/2 price in couple shops, so had to get one, bet they still made profit and prices were back to normal now. Same with that Makita DKT 360 , water heater , got one for 1/4 from list price... yeah clearly not over priced at all. Now there is Mikita light sale in few shop, €150 for Makita DML 810, those are usually sold here for €300 each, not decided if i need few 🙂

[@Deontjie]

I used to buy only Makita. But since they are made in China, they are just as bad as most cheap drills.

[@riba2233]

@@Deontjie wrong, not everything made in china is the same. makita still has great quality.

Hey tools you planning on doing any panasonic tools?

[@aaronoconnor606]

Do they sell Panasonic cordless tools in NZ?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Yes and Yes. Filmed one at the same location as this one was Filmed. Gotta finish it off.

[@wearsjorge55]

Sweet looking forward to it

[@gf2e]

Could you just stick a couple of the nose pieces in the rivet end carrier on the back?

[@Longtimerolling]

Nice review, seems like a good tool.

[@highestperception]

Nice video ! Tools you should try to get your hands on the duc357/xcu11 the new 18v rear 14" handle and test that out with the duc254 and the x2 against it. Just an idea i got it it and its a good little chainsaw.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I've used it, wasn't impressed at the chain speed but it did have better torque than the other 2 you mentioned.

[@davidnelson1711]

You are obviously located in Australia however the link you posted in the description does not post to Australia. How can I purchase this product in Australia/Can I buy the tool you have if you aren't using it?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I don't live in Australia.

I think for the money unless you're doing millions this is a good choice. interesting thing was lwarning about hemlock rivets. Rivnut gun should be handy.

Any plans on reviewing the Metabo versions?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I got them to review with the other 1/4" models, but the Metabo only does up to 6mm, not 6.4mm. Big fail in my opinion, especially for the price. So back it went. Hopefully I'll do the rivet nut version one day.

[@edwardlogan267]

Can the AEG one pull large rivits? ~400 nzd

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

No. Only goes up to 4.8mm I've got one to review.

[@ProToolsApproved]

What makes them so damn expensive?

[@robertrada4783]

Economy of scale, projected sell through, and projected sell-in are the heavy hitters. Also, if you’re a factory with millions of dollars in receivables and expenses, $1.5k for a rivet gun is different than someone making $40k a year and buying it for themselves. The manufacturer’s of these tools know their audience. This was a niche product until fairly recently. Taiwan and China making OEM and white label for brands has brought in a more cost conscious industrial grade. Mainstream brands stepping in are bringing in a more commercial grade for limited field use. Milwaukee went for the juggler with their pricing on the m12 unit.

[@frenchyroastify]

You could also just buy a pneumatic unit as well.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

No I couldn't.

[@davetaylor4741]

Always fancied a battery rivet gun. I've had an air one for years and several different attachment ones. Couldn't justify the stupid price of the known brand ones. They can't even trade on their warranty now. In Australia the repair shops are few. Often crap. And they can't get the parts to repair anything anyway. The tool is gone for months. Or written off after months. And obviously no loan tool, or temporary hire replacement. If a regularly used tool, only option is buy another. For the price if this thing works. No brainer. Makes you wonder why the big brands are so dear. Given these days most are made in China or Taiwan. Even all your USA brands have little to do with Uncle Sam.

[@darkhawk306]

I just saw and order one from parkside. Normaly big makita fan but for the price (and i dont use them a lot) is makita a bit much. Only the tool was about 60 euro so gonna see how the tool runs maby something to look at. But i think the max is 6

[@DiHandley]

AEG in Australia sell their riveter for A$349!

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

But it doesn't do 1/4" rivets. It only does 4.8mm, not up to 6.4mm.
