You just saved me like $15 because my dumb *** didn't even think of that one. Mech aid spring it is I guess! :Homer:

I found the old listing from my eBay history, it was a RRH10P but all I can pull up anymore is the title of the listing. I'll have to check the tag at work on Tuesday. I was pretty sure it was a TS but maybe the seller had it mislisted. It's been bought so long ago it's too late now. I'll have...

I've read some bad reviews of those reducers letting tools mushroom and lock into the barrel, I'd rather just use .401 in my .401 and .498 in my .498. What I'm asking is should there be a 'washer' for .498 beehive springs like there's a washer for that .401 beehive spring? If there should be...

May I suggest something different. https://www.ebay.com/itm/332739999355 Those washers under some stainless steel allen head cap bolts of the right length. You could accent with the color you like. I used something similar to replace the broken plastic wheel well liner clips on my Celica, but...

I'm pretty sure .401 and .498 use a different diameter thread and different diameter coil, I've tried putting .401 springs on a .498 and they don't fit for at least those two reasons. If I don't need a washer then I won't worry about it too much, just looked like a good addition to help minimize...

Boss has an Atlas Copco RRH (forgot which, 10 I think) air rivet gun and it's a little weird. You have to really lean into it to get it to go when you pull the trigger. I always see these guns spoken of like God's gift to pneumatic hitters so I don't know if this is normal or not, this makes it...

So I recently acquired a 7x rivet gun 'the mean green balljoint machine' Michigan Pneumatic MP-70X because I ran up against a ball joint my Jiffy #600 struggled to get moving. I'm not looking to spend $40-60 for a quick chuck for this gun as it doesn't have a tease trigger so I'll use it less...

It's roughly a little air hammer in there, is it consuming the same volume of air and not hitting the needles as hard or is it sucking less air and not hitting the needles as hard? If it's consuming less air and not hitting as hard check the air inlet, throttle valve, and diaphragm assembly for...

The saga continues. I saw mentioned a few times here that anything larger than a 6x would likely break more than it would fix on cars and light trucks. I see why, I was driving out a seized hub bearing with the Jiffy #600 yesterday and 3 of 5 lug studs just rattled right loose of the hub! I'm...

I just got a CP 7150 cause the .498 bits are expensive with slim pickins, the 7150 has some good power behind it but I'm pretty spoiled by the trigger on the Jiffy 600. Also sometimes the Jiffy is a little big to get in where I need to get in at things. Is there any way to mod the 7150 so it'll...

Good news, the 3200-1 is the correct insert! I've painted the handle red (poorly) and I'm going to hit the collar with some blue, and leave the barrel bare shiny steel (white) and call it the freedom gun because it gets stuff free. I've been able to use it some at work and it's a huge time...

I see that one pop up the most often when searching, they also don't list the ID of the insert. Can you measure yours? I may have found a round-about solution. I bought a .401 needle scaler a while back that has a plastic insert. The thing was super cheap, I could scavenge the insert out of my...

Jiffy #600 .498. It's an older gun, Ingersoll style. Hits hard and has a nice trigger but seems to use a less common spring size. So what did you end up getting? If there's part numbers I can find what I'm looking for, I just don't know exactly what I'm looking for yet. I know it takes a...

So the threaded section the spring goes on is 1-3/16th, I'm having a hard time tracking down a spring for that. I think I found one at USATCO, a 09-RH-4, I'm going to give them a ring on Monday to see if that's a .498 shank spring. Otherwise do you think a quick change chuck made for .498 guns...

I think I kind of see how it comes apart, but I just washed a bunch of WD40 through it and cleared the crud out pretty well. Blew the WD out and I'll oil it before next use. Hope I get to use it soon! Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk
