Greetings,
I bit the bullet & picked up a pneumatic rivet squeezer recently,
unfortunately with ZERO documentation. I'm assuming that it's all or
none as far as travel? Is there any way of adjusting it (like the
Tatco squeezer where the shaft is threaded)? It seems like you'd
need numerous sets of dies for the different types & lengths of
rivets. Are my assumptions correct? Lastly, I'm wondering what
pressure setting is optimal.
Thanks, Greg

I end up using 3-4 sets of different length, and use shim washers to
get the rivet set properly. So, it's not that bad. I keep a piece
of paper wiht a list of rivet sizes and required sets+washers.. makes
it pretty straight forward.
Another option is to get adjustable set holder... but the price of it
deterred me from buying it :)

Hello Greg,
You are correct, it is all or nothing. You don't need several dies (besides a cupped one for the 470's and a flat one for the 426's). Get yourself a large collection of washers to adjust the travel, and note the required thickness for each type of rivet.
You might want some other yokes and quick change pins later in the project, however.
good luck,
René Bubberman
