To the best of my knowledge, I've never operated a rivet gun in my life. I'm going to be welding on the floor, but all the panels will be aluminum, and there fore riveted to the frame. Just looking for some insight from those who know what they are talking about!
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.... I've looked a Home Dept, Jegs, Amazon, KMS Tools, Princess Auto, Speedway Motors, and Aircraft Spruce. 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. Seems the majority from the other mention suppliers run from about $50 to $120. 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. Have we gotten to the point where a cheap air gun is actually pretty good, or am I going to do one panel with it before it goes in the garbage?
