Overview
This tool set is designed to simplify fitting the 2-step rivet used in the 870 ejector spring and housing, making it a practical choice for shotgun maintenance and repair work. The two specially ground punches are intended to help with separate stages of the rivet installation, while the included rivet cutter can remove only the peened portion of the front rivet. That makes the kit useful when you need to work on the ejector assembly without replacing more of the rivet than necessary. It is a focused shop tool set for owners and gunsmiths who want a more controlled way to service this specific Remington component.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This set is specific to fitting the Remington 870's unique 2-step rivet, so it is not a general-purpose staking solution.
- The deluxe kit includes a rivet cutter, but the description notes it often lets you re-peen the existing rivet rather than replacing it outright.
- The punches and cutter are compact hand tools, which suits bench work but means the job still depends on careful alignment and manual control.
- The kit is focused on the ejector spring, housing, and rivet work; it does not address other firearm maintenance or repair tasks.
