cool riveter

Post by Jesse Jenks » Sat Feb 18, 2012 9:27 am

I put my second aileron together today using a Rive-Drill. It worked great.
It is an attachment that chucks in any drill, and pulls up to 3/16 rivets. I
put it in my Panasonic 12V cordless (which I really like also, very light
and great chuck). This thing seems like a great alternative to air power for
someone in my situation (building in the bedroom). It's quiet and fast and
costs about $50. The mandrel is ejected by running the drill in reverse. I
still have to use the hand-puller for tight areas, but riveting the skin
went really fast with this tool.
