I'd also be hesitant to say any value, as with those cheap compressors - even though they do work - my value of '75' may be your '60'  :shock: ! I'd work the value to aim for where one good sort of long 'rata-tata-tata-tat' pull on the air hammer sets the rivet. Some, due to angle, take more hits ... better to have to hit it again, than destroy it. Go SLOW from the start, as tilted tail rivets will cost you time removing them, a sure pain in the arse!</blockquote>
