Great. Sharp drill bits and makes drilling rivets quick and mindless.

Worked great! Centered well on the rivet and the remaining part of the head was easily knocked off with a chisel.

The rivet removal tool is a must-have tool for remodeling airstream trailers. After removing hundreds of rivets, my drill bit broke. Replacement was fast and inexpensive.

Works well, especially on aluminum fasteners, i would be very careful oiling it as it can plug the tip with filings

Invaluable tool for any sheet aluminum repair. Comes with no instructions but is easy enough to figure out for anybody who should be using this tool. This greatly improves your odds of drilling out the center of a rivet without walking to any side and elongating the hole. Well worth the investment.

When sharpened so many times, its shortened length renders it ineffective. Time for a new one.

Worked like a charm. Got all my bad rivets out right through the center of the head.

High quality. Fast service

Works awesome! No center punch. You get a perfect drill every time. Worth the money for sure

Excellent tool - if you do a lot of rivet work or modifications, this tool is a must!

This is the perfect tool for removing aircraft style rivets!!

Excellent quality tool. I purchased the tool to fix the sliding doors on my Kobalt Tool chest as they are riveted in. Works like a charm! got the job done fast. Thank you!

great product

Works as its supposed to and is high quality. With the drill bits being cheap to replace as needed the body of this tool will last indefinitely if cared for.

Having to do some repairs on a part requiring the removal of many rivets. This little tool makes it a snap. Easy to use (once I found video instructions on the web) and took out the rivets with a scratch on the surface. Highly recommend for the builder!

This tool works well, really speeds up the rivet removal process without enlarging holes.

Just bought my first Airstream and needed to pull skin. Yahoo !!! this baby works as advertised !!!! Very well made tool and a breeze to use.

Great product. Works!

Does exactly what it is designed to. The collar keeps the drill bit centered on the rivet, and the drill drills the rivet out. Just make sure you apply downward pressure on the collar/tube to keep it centered.

I used the tool to remove the rivets from a panel on my 1959 Airstream. The process is accurate and so much faster than center punching every rivet and then drilling them out. I love this tool !

Great tool for removing universal head rivets. Does exactly what it is designed to do. Nose piece keeps the drill bit centered on the rivet head and depth adjustment keeps you from drilling too deep and enlarging the rivet hole.

I purchased this unit to disassembly my Stinson 108-2 wings, the unit works fantastic, John and I disassemble 1 wing in about 6 hours. Also I need to remove the ring shank nails out of my 8 rabbited cedar siding to remove and replace 6 double hung windows, I capture the head of the nail with the collet and it cut the head off and allowed easy removal of the cedar board without damage. I would of have to purchase around 12 to 13 new cedar boards at about $76.00 per board. This unit saved me almost $1000.00

High quality tool. Precise and exacting results.

Works as advertised. Bits aren’t as sharp as ones you can buy at Home Depot, but it gets the job done. Wish there were a way to put charger bits into this tool to speed up the job, but the bits are in a special screw-in casing so replacement bits have to come from the same manufacturer

Rivet Removal Tool 53-400

Works perfectly!!!!! I didn’t do 5 stars as the shaft is long for tight spaces? (The drill bits don’t need to be that long!! You are only drilling off the heads)

Havent got to try it yet. Looks like it will be an asset in the toolbox.

it needs the next size up added

I was pleasantly surprised how well this tool worked. I have drilled out thousands of rivets in the past without a tool but decided to give this tool a try for some rivets in a difficult location. It worked great....centering the hole better than I could have done with a pin punch and drill bit. The tool seems well made. The hole drilled with the #30 bit was a little bit large....I think because the drill bit probably had a little run-out / play in it. Thats the only reason I dropped from a 5 to a 4 on the rating. Works good.

The tool is made well but the bits break fairly easily. Go ahead and order a couple extra bits on the smaller sizes. Not for confined spaces either, this thing adds about 6 inches to the end of your drill.

Used this tool to de-skin a set of Cessna 182 flaps. It really saves some time and does a great job of helping with alignment. We used it to remove the skin and then drilled through the center of the remaining rivet with a smaller drill to weaken the rivet and allow it to be removed without enlarging the hole.

It works. Not well but it works. The tool grips the surrounding sheet metal and not the rivit as it should. It will mar the sheetmetal and does not center as well as using a center punch and drilling rivits out without the tool. The tool has three main parts that thread together. The end allows for depth adjustment which is nice except that it fills with aluminum rapidly (oiling every five or six rivits helps) and the end will unscrew causing more down time. What it does well it prevents the head of the drilled out rivit from remaining on the drill bit. It stabilizes the drill bit and helps prevent bits from breaking. I bought it to do work on my Airstream camper. I will be putting it in a drawer and getting the automatic punch back out.

The tool does not work as well as expected. Using the tool as it should be used allows the drill bit to wander to the side and does not keep the bit centered. I found that I can do a better job without it. You also do not know if it allowed the bit off center until it is off center causing more work to straighten it out if you catch it.

Crappy drill bits 2 broke after 10 aluminum rivets.

bits break on cherry fasteners and does not stay centered.

I purchased this to remove Cherry rivets while building a Onex. It was completely useless - a total waste of money. The bit would barely dint the rivet head. The rivet spun in the hole. Using a regular #30 drill bit was slightly more effective. It may work well on lesser rivets.
