Hi all,
I always thought that using pop rivets might be not only quicker but also more inexpensive than using standard rivets. A hand rivet gun is not that expensive and you don't need the whole air tool equipment including the air compressor.
Looking at a video from homebuild help I realized that using a hand rivet tool is not impossible but for a lot of rivets it might be a little inconvenient and more time consuming.
So I need one of these noisy aircompressors in my shop or is there something electric?
I searched the web and wasn't able to find a lot of information other than they seem to be very expensive...
like this one here
One Gesipa Accubird 12V Cordless Rechargeable Riveting Tool : Amazon.com : Automotive
By the way the only one I could find that was available and it is not really inexpensive.
-But no need to by a compressor...
-But for that price I probably get a good compressor and some good air tools... I could use compressed air more often than I thought, even though I use pop rivets..
Any suggestions, somebody out there who used a electric pop rivet gun?
Certainly appreciate any advise!
Thanks,
Chris
