Finally found a riveter cheap!

(1/2) > >>

oldgoaly:
Now I can gloat....
10$ for the flat (cardboard box)
3X riveter, air hammer, sped ratchet, 12 drivers  all CP
Haven't tried them, 1st thing I do is put air tool oil in them and let them soak! Although these are not as old as some of the other junk I buy, still need to oil them up so they are well lubricated.

papadan:
You didn't get those cheap OG, you stole them. CP is supreme in air tools and even if they need resealing, it was a great grab.

skipskip:
tell us the difference between a riveter and an air hammer please


Skip

oldgoaly:
air chisel: cheaply made, poor control the hitting power. 

riveter: well made, good control of the hits throttling of the trigger /valve. 3X has a range of rivets it drives, important especially in aircraft work.

short description

cody6268:
Great score!

I've been taught, and only have done it the old fashioned way--with a ball peen hammer. Riveting in new blades on a sickle bar mower is a pain in the butt. Guess I've got an excuse to go find an air-powered riveter.
