Go to Post And I will most definitely never forget watching this bald, brown thin wisp of a human being charging up to us across the sidelines after the semifinals ended waving his hands and shouting "New Strategy!!!!!! New Strategy!!!!!!" as he rallied the troops for our Finals push. - Travis Hoffman [more]

Re: Rivet tools--what's out there today?

As royster44 mentioned, use the manual riveter at competitions, meaning you can ditch the compressor completely.

We have a Harbor Freight pneumatic riveter, but we have hardly used it so I cannot vouch for its durability. It pulls 1/4" aluminum rivets effortlessly.

In addition to the smaller hand riveters, we also have a " big daddy" hand riveter. In my estimation one could have assembled the George Washington bridge with it, as it appears to be built to last forever. Not inexpensive though.
