Our shop’s Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/4″ Blind Rivet Tool continues to perform flawlessly. In fact, it is now safe to say that the Technicians will reach for the Milwaukee before any of our pneumatic riveters.
Although the Milwaukee Riveter continues to prove itself to be durable, history has proven that it is a good idea to have some replacement parts on hand. I purchased the following online via Acme Tools. All parts were in-stock, their pricing was inline with other dealers, and shipping was very fast.
Includes: 3/16″, 7/32″, 1/4″ and 9/32″ Retention Nose Pieces
Prevents inserted rivets from falling out of rivet tool regardless of tool orientation.
M18 FUEL ¼” Blind Rivet Tool w/ONE-KEY Jaw Set

Still Looking for the Mandrel Collector
So far, I have been unable to find spare Mandrel Collectors at any of the online tool dealers that carry replacement parts for the Milwaukee Riveter. Mandrel collectors have always been a weak point on other riveters that we have used, so I’m certainly going to continue looking. I’ll keep you posted on my progress.
