well welcome back to Steve Robb reviews I got a new tool it's an air tool and it's one of these
air riveters and not too sure how many use guys have one of these but this one here was on sale
and I picked it up for Half Price guys this was 50 bucks my old one for some reason I took it
all apart and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it and it just gone I got no time
for stuff that just don't work so this one here instead of being up to 3/16 of an inch it'll
go quarter-inch rivets and I thought that was pretty good because I got some plans for this
so I'm just going to put it together and we'll we'll test it out well have you guys ever put one
of these things together yourself they're pretty simple just got a little plug in here to put your
wrought air fitting in and of course it comes with some instructions and I'm afraid to look at them
but usually yeah this is from Princess Otto and usually their instructions are pretty good and
I did go over the manila back because I'll show you something in there they always give you one
of these doohickeys and guys I got a whole pile of stuff like this and half the time I can't figure
out what is for after but collect all that stuff out and I can figure all this stuff up on what I
thought was really good that came in the package was another set of these jaws if these guys never
had one of these it's uh he's like a couple of jaws that actually pull the rivet in and
I thought that was great they give me an extra set and I'm gonna have to label these and put
them away in a spot that I can remember where it is so they give it a little wrench here too
and they gave you this block and I looked at this and I tried to figure out what is this block for
and I bet you know to use guys would know what this block is for but it's in combination with
this wrench and this the first time I've ever run across something like this and I just show you on
the bottom here with that wrench that block goes in there and you take this you wind this out and
you can put oil in there no guys does that what was wrong with my last one I don't know but I
don't remember getting anything like this and I don't remember a square on the bottom either
I didn't know you could take them apart the other one looked like I had a nut on the bottom I maybe
I maybe I shouldn't take it apart and put island but it says you can take that out and this shows
you how to put sufficient oil in there and maybe like my last one guys had to be 15 years old and
I think I paid 25 bucks and they give you a little bit of a fitting here and yeah it looks like this
one here would be for the fitting you know what guys I got no time for doohickeys like that I just
go right for the socket I put it in there and I attach it all together so I'm gonna put this
thing all together I'll bring you back and I'll show you how it works well before we get started
here I just want to show you something that I do for all my air tools is I just take this is just
a piece of hose rubber hose and I just stuck up just an ordinary wooden plug in the end there and
on all my air fittings I always put one of these over top because you never know if you're going
to get you know debris and dirt and everything in there just sitting around and of course I'm gonna
hang this you know from the rafters and it does come with a nice little hook here you can hook
on to and this is where the rivets will go in here and then you just you know you just turn
it upside down you get your handful of you know just the stubs from the rivets so let's get to it
here now it comes with the quarter inch already attached and on the Vice here I'll zoom you in
it comes with says here comes with quarter inch 3/16 5/32 and 1/8 and the most common that you
have really is the 1/8 and I would say the next one up probably be 3/16 I really don't see that
many 5/16 but sorry 5/32 so got the compressor on 90 psi and we'll try this out okay let's hook
up the air pressure okay you hear that already I'm thinking that's a wing-wang outlet there let
me swap that for a better outlet and let's see if this makes any difference because guys this
one here is leaking and that's gonna drive me rate squirrely well here's the old one here and guys it
looks like it's fine but no it's uh it's way Wang let's look up the there you go guys no noise no
nothing so let's go down to the workbench here and show you how this works okay Plan B yeah I thought
I got a spare set of jaws no no no no no let me show you that okay there we are right there guys
you can obviously see the one on the left is the one that came with the rivet gun and the one on
the right is for the smaller size rivets so yeah you can definitely see it's a lot bigger here than
on this side so I'm gonna swap them out get back over to the other side well I have you pretty well
zoomed in there I put the 1/8 nose piece on there let's give her a go come on okay come on really
there we go there we go just cut off nice I don't know if y'all use guys never used one of these
before but uh Wow hard to see what you're doing when you're zoomed in there ya go right there
now that's that's what you got right there and we'll put you on the other side right there not
so easy to do with one of these machines well I hope you like this little bit of a demonstration
on one of these air riveters I think they're pretty good I mean for the money I don't use
it that often but when you need them yeah they come in handy especially when you're putting
in a lot so thanks for joining me here today you guys take care come back again now Cheers
