Conductor562 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Dear Milwaukee, All I want for Christmas is an M12 rivet gun. Please design one. You have an M12 everything else so why not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I don't use air tools and I'm sick of the awkward pumping action my manual riveter requires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 And yes, I am aware they do exist. Marson and S-B make them for around $1,000! I can't help but feel Milwaukee could work it into the M12 line at a price point similar to many of the other M12 specialty tools they've been pumping out lately.

Conductor562 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I just realized that I did not specify, but I am of course talking about blind (or Pop) rivets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneburgess Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 What a cool tool that would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I don't use one every day, but I use it often enough to want a powered version. When you consider how long each rivet takes when applied manually you're talking about a big savings on time and fatigue. Can't justify $1,000 or even $500 though. I'm betting Milwaukee could do it in the sub-$300 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Right on. I want one bad. I thought it would come out this year at the show, but saw nothing. I cried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I suppose I'll survive for now. However, an M12 pop rivet gun will live on in my dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
