[viperhauck]

I need a good rivetgun. Any tip wich gun I should buy. I had used 2 but they are poor, Both are broken now and I need more heavy duty

 

[A couple of bucks]

Huck, Gage Bilt and Hanson would be at the high end of the Rivet guns. I did see a gun in the Northern Tool catalog than appeared nice for a pretty good price......Sunex was the name on it. Check out bylerrivet.com .....good selection of brands.

Used one? http://cgi.ebay.com/Alcoa-Air-V2-Ri...022?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4154c51f6e

Out of those three....amazingly enough, the cheapest one (Alcoa) should be just fine.

Some Clecos and Cleco pliers makes fabricating quite swifter.

I placed a bid on the alcoa. But I cant find any data on it. What rivets it takes etc.

Go with a Jet brand they work very nice. Less wasted rivets.

Thanks. I going to use it to rivet 4.8mm steelrivets so that gun must be good for that job.

I bought the harbor freight 1/4 #98898. It is the bigger of the 2 they offer. It is made by Central Pneumatic. It cost me 90 bucks. So far I have put close to 150 to 200 rivets back into my sled doing a rebuild. I've used all stavix brand steel rivets and the gun pulls flawlessly and have had 0 problems W/ it. I highly recomend this gun a couple of the guys recommended me this gun from this website.

Stop back to this thread after you have used it and give the gun a 'review'.

 

[viperhauck]

Yes I will do that. The only "bad" was the shipping cost, It cost me $90 and the gun $90 so not sheap but is the gun good it´s worth it
