Rivet Gun Disassembly, Assembly and Usage Guide

awesome! I saved 2 harbor freight rivet guns.this helped me a lot.

good job 👌👌👌👌

Thanks very much. Had to take mine apart and springs and pieces flew everywhere. Didn't know how to put it back together. This showed exactly how the two halves of the clamping head and "thingy" went back together.

Thanks for the patient exposition. One request for your video presentations to come: Mic your voice a bit better so as to get more volume into the thing. Thanks again. (time lapse here): Hey, when I took my tool apart and put it back together again, thank you, I noticed that the little thing you referred to as the plug, the thing you said flew across the garden and was lost––the thing that sits atop the spring––mine is steel, not plastic. Two observations about that: 1.Your plastic substitute may not be able to take the stresses that it will be subjected to and may fail; and 2. since that plug that you lost in your garden is made of steel, you could search for it with a magnet and maybe find it without having to identify it by sight first. Thanks again for the video.

Thank you for this video!

I still can't understand what makes this work? How is the spring tensioned and released?

Thank you! It seems that a riveter is a riveter. I have a Sears Craftsman riveter that is exactly the same as your model. I have the manual for mine, but it's tucked away in storage, so I was thrilled to find your video when I was doing some auto body work and the riveter pieces were all over the floor looking like a jigsaw puzzle!

I had disassembled my 20 year old, Craftsman 7474 and couldn't figure out reassemble it. Luckily I found this Video. It basically, has the same parts. Close enough, for me to figure out how to put mine together. Thanks.

Thanks! Major help!

Thanks. Had the same problem with a Stanley MR33 and fix is basically the same.

Wow too much nice

Having owned this rivet tool for decades it did frequently clog and the “nail’ part of the rivet wouldn’t expel. This great little video was instrumental in helping me reassemble this handy tool. Sears stores are gone, but this tool remains. I took it apart the last time it clogged and not until I have a project in need of pop rivets did I try to put it back together. This handy video deserves my applause and thanks for coming to rescue a tool that was laying unused. THANKS👏

Thanks for the video - I may have to fix my own MR99 shortly. If I remember rightly from the original instructions I think that the main barrel of the riveter and the large end cap can be swapped over so that the tool can be used "end on ". Could be useful if using it in a confined space. I have never needed to do this but I think the pivot/axle also has to be changed from position A to position B to make it work.

Very helpful thank you

Thanks! I have an old Craftsman version of this exact Rivet gun and the little plastic cap on top of the internal spring shot across my shop years ago and the gun hasn’t worked right since. I took a metal screw with a slightly larger head than the spring and cut the head off and replaced the plastic cap with the screw head. The metal screw head worked perfect as a replacement for the plastic cap. Thanks to the creator of this video - it’s sort of a pain reassembling this tool and the video was really helpful - cheers!

HIS DELICATE VOICE IS NOT TOO CONVINCING..........................

Pl

I need the one

Well done - the explanation was clear and concise.

Thank you! Great informational video as I too had a stuck pin and did not know how to disengage it.

Thanks🎉
😊

Thank you much! I too got on stuck and took apart then “uh oh!” Great job very low stress and super explaining. Jp
