I did something stupid. well 2 things.
I had been wanting to buy one of these tools for a while now,
I ended up with of them because I had someone coming over to do a job on their camper (I am on #2 of the same kind of camper, an Apache "solid state" popup) where I had to replace his roof panel because his was damaged and I had a spare off of a part-out)
I bought 2 from Ebay within a couple days of each other because I panicked thinking the 1st one would not make it on time, as this guy was coming from out of state for me to do this job..... both are similar but slightly different. Both Marson but one is an M4 (AKA #39058) and the other is older, a model #300 (AKA 39050)
I put the nose pieces in different places so that I could keep them separate in case they were different from each other, "where I would know where they are at and not get lost" well now I cannot find the ones for the M4. which is the newer (current prod.) while the other one is older, discontinued as a complete unit. I have since put the ones for the #300 in the stub collector cup so they stay with that particular riveter, between uses.
1. Are the nose pieces interchangeable between these tools? (by nose piece I mean the mandrel that you have to change, for different diameter rivets)
2. where can I get replacements for the ones that I lost? I have used the #300 a few times now.... love it.... will get quite a workout, as I rebuild/ restore my current camper. I have yet to even connect an air hose to the M4. I want to take that one to work, as I hate hand riveters. and have had to take the other one to work a couple times already when I have had the need....
