REMINGTON 870 RIVET STAKING TOOL SET

REMINGTON 870 RIVET STAKING TOOL SET Reviews & Ratings

Two specially ground punches make fitting the 870-ejector spring and housing onto Remington’s unique 2-step rivet a snap! The 0.070" hole in the face of the #1 tool allows you to fasten the ejector housing to the receiver with the lower portion of the rivet. The #2 tool is then used to secure the ejector spring within the ejector housing with the upper portion of the rivet. The Deluxe Kit combines the above two punches with an ejector spring rivet cutter that lets you take off just the peened area of the front rivet. This often lets you re-peen the existing rivet.

Rivet Cutter dimensions: 2.5” (6.3cm) long x 0.310” (7.87mm) shaft diameter, 0.143” (3.63mm) cutter diameter

The only part worth having is the cutter
The cutter worked and was able to restake the spring rivet. But I had to use a flat punch as the one for that purpose was too deep to upset any metal.

Poor construction & useless instructions
The instructions were very confusing and practically useless. The rear tool didn't properly set the new rear stake and I ended up using another, generic punch. After using them for just a single install, both tools are now bent.

Trash
DO NOT BUY !! I bought this set , they look good . But that's about it . I used them twice, first time the tool with the small hole flared out and got stuck in the ejector. The finishing tool worked well. Second time the tool with the small hole busted the side out of the tool. The finishing tool split in half right up the center. The pin cutter works well, the only reason for one star. THIS TOOL SET IS TRASH !
