Electric rivet gun

The YouTube algorithm just surfaced this short video to me and I think it’s pretty neat: https://youtu.be/I_hC_zD7Hx0

The Tech-Sgt. in the video figured out that with the right adapter a battery powered hammer drill can be used for riveting.

In the video it looks like he’s doing at least a -4 rivet with it so should be plenty powerful for most rivets on an RV.
And I guess one could say it’s “military grade” tooling ;)

Seems like a pretty neat solution for anywhere you don’t have a compressor available.
 
I posted a question about an electric rivet gun over a year ago. Only issue I see is that tool is huge and looks like it needs two hands to handle. Maybe moving in the right direction though.
