What is the main advantage of the soft grip?

The soft grip handle is designed to provide increased comfort and reduce hand fatigue during prolonged use or when setting multiple anchors.

Can I use this riveter for metal anchors?

The kit includes 35 x 7mm (32mm long), 10 x 9mm (52mm long), 15 x 9mm (37mm long), and 15 x 5mm (44mm long) MOLLY anchors.

How do I ensure the anchor is securely set?

Squeeze the riveter handles firmly and repeatedly until you feel significant resistance, indicating the anchor has fully expanded behind the wall material. Visually inspect that the anchor head is flush with the wall surface.

Is this tool suitable for professional use?

The sturdy and durable heavy-duty design suggests it is suitable for frequent use, including professional applications, particularly for tasks involving hollow wall anchoring.

What is the weight of the tool?

The weight of the riveter gun itself is approximately 0.8928721611 pounds.

Troubleshooting

Riveter not setting the anchor properly

Ensure the correct MOLLY anchor size is being used for the tool and wall type. Check that the anchor is fully inserted into the tool's jaws and that the handles are squeezed with sufficient force. Verify the anchor is compatible with the riveter.

Anchor spinning after setting

This can happen if the hole is too large or the wall material is weak. Try a slightly larger anchor if available or ensure the hole is clean and the correct size for the anchor being used. For plasterboard, ensure the riveter is expanding the anchor wings correctly behind the board.

Difficulty squeezing the handles

Check for any obstructions or debris in the riveter's mechanism. Ensure the tool is properly aligned with the anchor. The tool may require significant force, especially for larger anchors; ensure you are using proper technique. If the issue persists, the tool may require maintenance or replacement.

Jaws not gripping the anchor stem

Clean the jaws of any debris. If the jaws appear damaged or worn, they may need to be replaced. Ensure the anchor stem is clean and free from obstructions.
