Is anyone familiar with a pneumatic riveter made by the United Shoe Machinery Company? I just acquired one and I am trying to figure out what the maximum psi is. The listed maximum psi was either worn off the label or it was never stamped. It is a model 92844.

Looks like mine is well worn. What advantage do the teeth provide?

Does anyone have any information on this Donnelly tool?

I will not own an angle grinder that does not have a safety clutch. I would recommend a Walter grinder. They have the safety clutch and are still made in Germany.

I've never been sure - how do you pronounce Starrett?
