Harbor freight pop rivet gun11/13/2022 ![]() The post has a slight taper at the tip to help align the washer, but you aren't likely to push it down by hand. The post is on the opposite end of the head.much like a nail, and the washer is driven down over it. The post of the rivet (which gets clipped) IS the part that gets peened over. Otherwise, the dome side may come out crooked, no? when using the other tool(s) - for setting copper rivets (3 pieces Douglas tools) what happens to the side that you've clipped and peened when you have it flipped over to use the rivet "doming" punch on the other side? Seems like it would need to sit in an anvil with a hole in the center (to accomdate the peened stem). Hi Art, I like that little Wonder, I need to look into it. In a production shop that uses a lot of different sizes and types of fasteners, a bunch of Little Wonders set up for the things you do the most and then a couple for the odd things would work nicely. We sew most everything so we don't use rivets much and more often than not they are burr rivets for strength. In the video, you will see all the adjusting going on with the Little Wonder. I have 2 Press-N-Snap setters from my boat canvas days loaded with everything to set Ligne 24 snaps. I set Burr rivets with a set of tools from Bob Douglas call Vandy at Sheridan Leather. I have this machine and it is not for burr rivets. Are extra pieces needed to do a variety of rivet sizes (like various die or whatever) - does anyone know? Springfield's add mentions a die for line 20 snaps but what about the various rivet sizes? And if so, could those pieces still be sourced somewhere?įrom Weaver Leather. I think what I'm most interested in is the bench mounted hand press type rivet setter, of course you can get old used ones on ebay for much cheaper (usually Rex brand etc). Maybe you were meaning the "Rivet Setter" which pops up a single item (that you strike with a hammer) but I think even that needs an anvil under it. I'm not finding an individual tool (single item) used for rivets when searching their site with the fraise "rivet set". I use #9 sized rivets on the rare occasion I happen to need them. Just match the size of the set to the size of the rivet. I'm wondering if they are all made in the same place, the ones on the left get yellow paint, the ones in the middle get red paint, and the ones on the right get black paint though.You use the rivet set (a single tool, not a group of things) that you may purchase from Springfield Leather or other suppliers. Seems the majority from the other mention suppliers run from about $50 to $120. My gut tells to to purchase from Aircraft Spruce, but it also tells me I probably don't need to spend $314.00 on a rivet gun I'm going to use for one project. I've looked a Home Dept, Jegs, Amazon, KMS Tools, Princess Auto, Speedway Motors, and Aircraft Spruce. #Harbor freight pop rivet gun manual#Is an air gun recommended or not that big of a deal with a manual gun? I've looked for reviews, and, as I stated, I don't really know my rivet guns, but when I see a Stanley gun in the top three recommended tools, I feel a bit skeptical as to the quality of review. Just looking for some insight from those who know what they are talking about! I'm going to be welding on the floor, but all the panels will be aluminum, and there fore riveted to the frame. To the best of my knowledge, I've never operated a rivet gun in my life. ![]()
