I've pumped thousands of rivets through this one...works great.
Yep they work good. Just keep them oiled.

I have the light blue texture powdercoated air riveter from princess auto. Never had a problem with it. It does stainless steel rivets just fine along with aluminum ones.
I would get the 1/4" one that is on sale. Some of the rivets on these new sleds are larger than 3/16" shank, I know that I got some from Cat a couple years ago to put in my Doo because they were larger, and I had to drill out my existing collet to make them fit. The 1/4" one still does 3/16, but doesn't go down to 3/32" (who really uses 3/32"s rivets anyway). I pretty much use 1/4" rivets for most sled stuff now.

So, old thread but I forgot I had this thing and am finally getting around to using it! The manual says to fill the air tank with the riveter upside down to just below the top of the air cylinder. Does that mean to pretty much fill the whole tank with hydraulic fluid to the bottom of the threads that hold the bottom cap on?
The best PA tool that I've bought!
