which pneumatic riviter
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:56 pm
Hey Brad,
I suspect that you're gonna get 200 opinions, but here's one: Harbor
Freight #00167-3JFA. It's the smaller of the two that they sell. I bought
both this one and the larger version, thinking that I might need the extra
heft for the 3/16" rivets. The small one sets the 3/16 Avex (aluminum) so
well, I haven't used the big one yet. Been using it almost a year and it
hasn't failed a single time. I oil it about once a week whether it needs it
or not. It doesn't leak air at all, either.
An engineer buddy expressed horror that I'd buy such a cheap tool,
considering that I was going to use it so much in the coming years. I told
him that I'd pay the couple of hundred dollars, for a good 'name brand'
tool, if this one didn't hold up. Having performed so well, if it falls
apart tomorrow, I'm gonna buy another one. BTW, it comes with the different
sized nose pieces.
