DeWalt DCF414GE2 20V MAX* XR Brushless Cordless 1/4" Rivet Tool Kit with POWERSTACK

Jaws continue to brake when using 1/4" steel rivets. I've replaced 3 sets of jaws in the past month at $50 a pop, it's becoming a major problem. I've narrowed it down to steel rivets. No fixing this problem until jaws are made with higher quality materials. Had I known I couldn't use this for steel rivets I would not have purchased.

I don’t use rivets very often… but now I will. I always hated the manual rivet guns trying to squeeze hard enough and get the rivet tight. No longer an issue. This thing is a beast. I love how it keeps the discarded rivets in a cup for easy disposal. I have tried it on the metal deck of my trailer, fixing other metal to metal projects, and soon to be used to attach an aluminum diamond plate to my steel trailer. This pulls the rivets so tight I don’t think welding would be any better. I am really impressed and can’t wait to see what else I can bind together with this thing. It’s super quick and quiet. And the new batteries it comes with are awesome! Super light, small, and tons of power. I might have to get the other one for smaller things after trying this. Definitely a go to alternative from welding or bolting.

Really handles well with effortless power. Made for a short day and still had plenty of battery leftover. Although the metal was a thin gauge I had no misfires, tool itself is fairly light but has what feels like unlimited pulling power.

I am really impressed with this tool. This is the first time in my life where I am not manually installing rivets. Let’s just say that I will never go back. The ease of use was surprising to me and there are a couple features that make this worth the money. One of them being the storage unit in the back. No more picking up the leftover pins off the ground. This was very effective and did a great job with no hang ups. Another awesome feature that surprised me the on board storage for the different size heads. DeWalt really thought this one through and its nice knowing that I will not be loosing any of the additional head sizes. Even swapping out the different heads was very easy and quick to do! And I have to mention that this is the first time I’ve owned a power stack battery and I am very impressed by how compact these are. The only con with the tool is that it does feel a little awkward in the hand with how thick the handle is but I’m not sure if this is something DeWalt could even get around. It’s not like I’m using this all day everyday anyways. Excellent tool!

Perfect tool for your aluminum projects!, I used this rivet gun to metal stud frame storages in one of my projects doing its job efficiently, fast and jamb free, got impressed for the time saving and effortless I put into this job, not mentioning that the new power stack batteries are a really beast, had about 800 rivets installed per charge. Definitely recomended for his capably, saves you time and energy.

Right off the bat, I am VERY happy that Dewalt included 2 batteries in this kit. I have only done a few small jobs with this new rivet gun, and the power this tool has, is simply amazing. Fastening my Polaris Jetski hull back together was a breeze with this Dewalt rivet gun!! I used ¼" aluminum rivets putting the hull back together. I really appreciated the "catch can", so the stems didnt make a mess all over the floor. I did use a couple ³/16 rivets. It was very simple, as Dewalt provides the nose pieces so you can use pretty much any size rivets you want. Really easy to use. The nose comes apart without any tools!! Make sure you read the directions that come with it. I just went for it, and had to stop my project, and go read, so I knew how to use it. After the initial charge of the Powerpack, it never went dead during the whole project. All the accessories, fit right in the tool. So you ALWAYS have everything you need right with the tool. You wont need to hunt around for them. Notba real fan of the new charger that was included with this kit. I am kinda bias towards the "old style"Dewalt charger. Anyway, back to work. Not one time did the Dewalt Rivet Gun bog down, lose power. I did the whole hull with it. One battery. One charge. One happy guy. This tool has all the power you could ever need. I bet I could rivet a whole pontoon float with one charge!! I do like the whole kit goes right int a bag provided by Dewalt for storage. I dont think I will ever need to get another rivet gun. Its lightweight, and very easy to use. Just make sure you read thru the directions. I think Dewalt put 110% into the thought process when designing this tool. Even the grip is nice. After using it 40 times in a row, my hand was just fine. It would've been a pita if I had to use my old, worn out rivet gun. Thanks Dewalt, you made anothe great tool for us!!

This is a huge time (and hand) saver! DeWalt thought of everything with this gun! From the onboard nose piece holder to the easy twist off mandrel storage to keep your work area clutter free! And talk about pulling force! This beast can pull any rivet that you would need to! The light is perfectly placed and this tool combined with the Powerstack batteries make it lightweight and versatile!!

Works great for faster projects. The built-in catch cup is nice for collecting all the pins that come out! The new batteries are a nice upgrade from previous generations with time in between charges and are also a lot lighter. The light on the tool is a little annoying because I am not a fan of the timing, I wish it had a on off switch.

Overall a great product! I received it and have out in over 50 rivets and not one broke off in a weird way. The power stack batteries are phenomenal and the rest of my dewalt arsenal. The barrel grip of this gun has a little more girth than your typical drill driver sets. This would be a great tool for someone in a sheetmetal or ac shop!

This riveter is fantastic. It’s handled everything I’ve tried it on great with no misses. I really appreciate the onboard storage for the alternate size tips and the catch container for the mandrels.

The toolless tip changes are easy and the tips are well marked with letters that match with sizes on a chart on the tip storage.

It is on the heavy side. But it’s so much easier to get a perfect rivet connection than with any manual riveter I’ve used.

The power stack batteries that this model shipped with are great as well. The compact size lets you get into tighter spaces.

There’s also an updated charger style that clips onto the top of the battery instead of the traditional tabletop charger. I like the compact size for keeping in the tool bag.
