Hi all,

Shopping for a rivet gun and need to know which to buy (mm or inches)?

Cheers

These are the rivets you'll need. I guess that means you'll need an imperial rivet gun? To be honest, I'm not sure it makes a big difference.

Its the rivetts not the rivet gun that makes the difference. The gun will pop all types - make sure you get an air powered unit otherwise it is just too hard on the hands.

This size rivet let go with a hard snap , If you only have a few to do then depending how strong your grip is a good quality rivet gun will do . If you have lots to do see if you can borrow a set of Lazy tongs . Air riveters are the way to go . Do you have a bus company workshop near you Ask the workshop manager if you can pop a few rivets in , worth a try ? Jim
