Actually I just found what I need, the 1422....unfortunately is not avail on amazon.

I am looking for a Rivet Gun and rivets for small rivets, less then 1/8. Recommendations? BTW: I have and use the 1443B, and 1442 Rivet Nut guns.

Found some idea's, one of which is: CINCLIPS

Sorry this is not the garage, but our kitchen, but hoping to get some ideas. Our sink has started dropping, after looking noticed it was just "glued" in, and there are no anchor holes drilled in the underside of the granite to install the proper mounting fasteners. Wife wants to replace the...

Thanks, just ordered a container of Evapo-Rust for some rusty fasteners that I just removed from old Land Rover that I am working on. tim

Could just be it did not adhere well, as mine (KRL) on the back is partially peeling, I keep pressing it back on. Not sure I'd rush to a negative reason....BTW, I never checked the S/N, or cared to when I bought it used 5 years ago, did not even enter my mind. Hands down best box I've ever...

I upgraded all of my craftsman (wrenches/sockets/extensions/pliers/screwdrivers etc to SK, and ratchets to Snapon. I did buy some Gearwrench floppy box head ratcheting wrenches.

I have the Astro 1442, but I need to do some M3/M4 in thin metal (Defender Wings), been looking at the 1443B. Would the 1450/53 be a better fit? I actual like the Plier design of the 1443B for the smaller nuts, as it seems to be a bit more "controllable" for the smaller nuts?? tim

I wonder if the 923 (3/8) can replace all the functionality of the 894 (1/2), and use 3/8>>1/2 adapters with the 923 when a 1/2 socket is required? Nevermind, just looked at the spec's, DCF923B is 300/450, DCF894B is 330/600 (Max Fastening Torque/Max Breakaway Torque)

take a look at the new DCF923B, looks impressive for size.

So I am keeping the Detent Anvil (DCF894B) and sending the Hog Ring back. Saved over $30 buying the Detent over the Hog Ring, and for around $20-30 I can pick up a Hog Ring Anvil to switch if it becomes a problem. 99% will be lug nuts with this one, so I'll just keep a short 2-3" extension on it...

Appears to be just personal preference, so the only way to tell is to just try both, and decide what works/feels best for me.

So I ordered the 899B,HB, and the 894B,HB so that I can compare them all, and return what I don't like.

Well, being that I don't work in a shop, and can easily take the (extra) time to release the Detent, I'll prob go with that. 99% will be removing/installing (carefully before using a torque wrench for final torque) lug nuts, with the occasional stuck suspension/axel bolt/nut. In all cases, I...

What makes it hard switching sockets with the Detent? All of my Ratchets and extensions are Detent (actually more of a ball, so maybe that's the difference)...Is the Detent different on a Impact?
