NEXTACK NT200 Pop Rivet Gun Kit, 360° Swivel Head, 200 Rivets
Product description
The 10.5-inch NEXTACK NT200 pop rivet gun has a 360° swivel head that turns to suit the working angle, helping you reach narrow spots and overhead areas. Its kit pairs the tool with aluminum rivets, HSS drill bits, and a storage case for a practical setup on repair and assembly jobs.
If your priority is access around a bracket, vehicle panel, or other tight area, a rotating head offers a different approach from a fixed-head riveter. The NT200 also covers common small pop-rivet sizes for projects around the garage, RV, or workshop.
Technical overview
The head rotates through 360°, so you can position the tool perpendicular, horizontal, or at another angle that fits the work area. Four interchangeable nosepieces accommodate the included rivet sizes. They are knurled for tool-free changes, and the modular design allows the tool to be disassembled for maintenance.

The ergonomic pistol-style handles provide a comfortable grip, while the rotating head is useful when a straight approach to the rivet is difficult. Buyers often appreciate this swivel feature for confined work areas. Feedback on durability is mixed, and some customers say setting rivets takes considerable hand strength, so those perspectives are worth weighing when choosing a hand-operated tool.
How to use it
When a hole is needed, drill it with one of the supplied bits. Select the nosepiece that matches the rivet, fit it into the tool, and grip the rivet by gently pressing the handles. Insert the rivet into the workpiece and squeeze, repeat the squeeze if needed, then release the handles to eject the spent stem. Matching the nosepiece to the rivet size helps the tool grip and set it correctly.
The swivel head can be turned to suit access from the side, above, or another workable angle. That flexibility is useful for jobs such as gutter repairs, bike projects, and work around vans, RVs, or kayaks. For thin plastic or leather sheets, use a finishing washer so the rivet can compress and expand against it rather than riveting directly into the sheet.
What’s included
The kit includes the swivel-head rivet gun, 200 aluminum rivets, four HSS drill bits, four nosepieces, a user manual, and a compartmented storage carrying case. The organized case keeps the tool and small parts together between projects, whether you store it in a workshop or bring it to a repair location.
What to clarify
Which rivet sizes does the NT200 handle? The kit covers 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", and 3/16" pop rivets. Choose the matching nosepiece for the rivet being installed.
Can the head be positioned for angled access? Yes. The head rotates 360°, letting you set the tool at an angle that suits the work area, including horizontal or overhead positioning.
Can it be used on plastic or leather? For thin plastic or leather, the manufacturer recommends using a finishing washer rather than riveting directly into the sheet. The washer provides a surface for the rivet to compress and expand against.
Should you buy it?
Choose the NEXTACK NT200 if your projects call for a hand riveter that can turn to reach awkward work areas and a kit with common small rivet sizes ready to use. Its swivel head is the main practical advantage over a fixed-head approach, while the included bits, nosepieces, rivets, and case make it suited to workshop repairs and hands-on maintenance around vehicles, bikes, and outdoor gear.
