I have adjustable rivet gun


When I use mine it pulls all way through and does not snap off metal. Is this normal.

If your rivet gun cannot grip the mandrel properly, either the jaws are oily or the jaws are worn out. Is that what you asked?

Often poor quality rivets can cause this issue. Also, holes too big and rivet length too long for the application.

455 hours - finished riveting the LEs - Rod end Bearings, and ...

This site was created to provide friends and family with a vehicle to track my efforts to build a Van's RV 8 Aircraft kit. I expect the project to take approximately three years to complete. The dream began in the Summer of 2008. The actual building began in 2009, with the arrival of the empennage or tail kit. I will periodically update the site with photos and comments about my progress.

Wind Turbine Homemade Vertical with Innovative Wings (Easily ...

This Vertical Wind Turbine was made for about $15 Bucks by CATopalian and Robert Leveille, 2/24/2012. It is made from PVC pipe, Bucket Lids, and 3 Ring Binders for Wings. The ORIGINAL innovative wings are an overlapping triangle. Each overlap creates the flap for the next wing that creates GREAT lift!!! I used a Rivet Gun to attach everything. Please note that we also laugh at the duct tape, but we laugh more at getting 3 1/2 rotations per second :-) NOTE: This model is the original. It has a wobble because it’s not centered. In order to center it we have to use a Compass, Framing Square and Protractor to make an Equilateral Triangle inside of a circle. The next model will be shown spinning nicely with no wobble. Indeed this is only the spinning part and not the electric generating part, which will be shown in the next model also. However, it is designed as a turbine and will feature a pulley at the bottom to spin an electric motor OR we will mount a couple of neodymium magnets and make our own stator. PS: If it wasn’t for duct tape then where would first models be? Apart! Also, if you know of a way to spend 15 bucks and get almost 210 rpm you should make a video and put it on youtube :-)
