[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 426009, member: 15636"] I get you ... but how much more prettier do you really need or think you'll get? And a $30 more tool ain't gonna make it look any better #-o IMHO, but hey, it's your $$. Now how the 'nut behind the trigger' adjusts and uses the tool, heck yes - that can make a HUGE difference! FWIW for "my" tools and setup, 75 PSI was the magic number, may be quite different for a different hammer and air setup, or even rivet source. These were 1100F alloy from Jay-Cee rivets. To me, the BIGGEST difference in tooling would be to be to make sure you buy the proper shape and size air tool (that impacts the rivet) for the rivet you are using. Here is a link to the proper brazier head tool for the common solid rivets we are using. https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=41248 [/QUOTE]
