![]() ![]() The only thing is that it took a bit longer as I needed to use more washers, one at a time, as described above. I set my air compressor to 110-115 psi (the documentation included with the unit doesnt give a recommended pressure setting), and it bucks 3/16 AD470-6 rivets without issue. Thats incorrect: Ive tested it through #6 (3/16) rivets, and it seems to work fine-and the kit does come with sets for #3 through #6 rivets. The second thing to note is that, at the time I purchased the unit (and then made this review), the product description states that the squeezer will handle up to 1/8-inch solid aluminum rivets. So while not as convenient as using a squeezer with an adjustable ram, its really not that big of a deal. It only takes a few seconds once youve done it a few times. The goods news is that while this is slightly time-consuming, this is otherwise pretty simple to do-simply put a 3/16 washer on the shank of the rivet set, replace it into either the fixed or movable ram, and then go back after the rivet. So this means youll need to use washers if you need/want to squeeze rivets past a certain point. In other words you cannot make fine adjustments to the ram position to handle rivets of different lengths, similar to most hand squeezers. However the stock unit DOES NOT feature an adjustable ram. As the description is a bit incomplete and misleading (at the time I purchased it), I thought I would leave a more complete review.įirst, the unit works very well. Just received this kit this past week, and have used it several times.
