Atlas copco the manufacturer of that tool, is very reputable. When i toured the Cessna Aircraft factory, they used those specifically, the drills were whisper quiet. I asked one of the workers if they liked that brand and they said that it was the only brand they would use.


This rivet gun would be used for driving a rivet that would require a bucking bar behind it, not your standard pop rivets, maybe an aircraft mechanic on here would be able to explain it better.

We use Atlas Copco where I work. They are extremely high quality. My boss calls golden tools, and not because of the color.

I don't think that is the tool you are looking for, though. Try something like one of these.

good to know! thanks.
I am looking for a pneumatic hammer style riveter for bucking rivets into semi trailers' scuff guards, right now I'm using a Snap On PH3050, Its a fantastic tool, but it really ***** to use all day (usually do 1000+ rivets a day) its crazy loud and shakes a lot. I'm hoping I can find a tool thats easier to deal with but I don't want to sacrifice speed, I'd like to increase it if possible
