This heating Air Riveter for riveters – a challenging, dangerous skill that entails heating rivets until they are red-hot, and then throwing them through the air to a waiting catchman who puts them through steel beams with a hammer or a pneumatic drill, is a marvelous, compact design that can be pulled even by horses.
Most buildings today are constructed with iron and copper tubes, protruding upwards into the skies. This Air Riveter is mainly for small jobs such as rebuilding an 8 story garage but ask any iron worker if he can use it on say, a larger job and he’ll smile at you and show you his Union badge and then ask for a 15 minute break.
I have recently purchased this riveter and it has worked well. it will set a 3/16ths rivet with ease. I use mostly 1/8″, so it will probably last forever, which is really the only concern that I have. I usually shy away from taiwan tools, but a US built rivet gun is $500-1000, and I just don’t use one enough to spend that much. I will say that import tools from taiwan have made great strides recently(a vast number of companies in taiwan/china are former US companies that moved overseas). I will do an update later, but it has been flawless so far.
