Our take on the Milwaukee M12 2550-20 Rivet Tool with M12 CP2.5 Battery Pack

The Milwaukee 2550-20 is a 12-volt cordless blind rivet tool built to replace hand and pneumatic riveters. It pulls up to 3/16-inch rivets in steel, aluminum and stainless, with 2,000 lbs of pull force and a 0.8-inch stroke, and Milwaukee rates it at 450 1/8-inch steel rivets per charge on a 1.5 Ah pack. At about 6.5 inches long and 4.15 lb it is among the most compact cordless riveters, which matters for tight automotive and sheet-metal work. The best new price is $224.00 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, with two stores listing it new; note that the bare tool normally ships without a battery or charger, so confirm what a given listing includes.

What reviewers say

Owners rate it 4.6 out of 5 across 568 ratings, and the common theme is that it removes the hand strain of manual riveters while staying small enough for tight work. Complaints center on the bare-tool packaging and on weight during extended overhead use.

Pros
  • Much less effort than a hand riveter
  • Compact size fits where pneumatic tools won't
  • Consistent pulls through stainless rivets
  • Runs on batteries owners already have
Cons
  • Battery and charger sold separately
  • Heavy when held overhead for long periods
  • Limited to smaller rivet sizes

Questions and answers

Is the Milwaukee 2550-20 worth it over a hand riveter?
For anyone setting more than a handful of rivets, yes. It cuts muscle effort by over 60% and keeps a steady 2,000 lbs of pull, so results are more consistent than with a manual tool.
Does it come with a battery and charger?
The 2550-20 is normally a bare tool and ships with only a mandrel wrench. Some bundles add an M12 CP2.5 pack, so check the listing before buying.
What size rivets can it pull?
It handles up to 3/16-inch rivets in steel, aluminum and stainless steel. The included setup is for 3/16 inch; other nose pieces are sold separately.
How many rivets per charge?
Milwaukee rates it at 450 1/8-inch steel rivets on a 1.5 Ah battery. Expect fewer with 3/16-inch stainless, which needs more force.
How does it compare with a pneumatic riveter?
It delivers similar pull force without a compressor or hose, and it is far more portable. A pneumatic gun still wins for nonstop production work where air is already plumbed in.
When is the price lowest?
Cordless tool prices tend to dip during holiday sales and Milwaukee promotions. At $224.00 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it sits well below typical bare-tool pricing.
