I was in there today looking at them I think I may try some. They do have 12months warranty i reckon I could give some of them a fair bit of work in that time.

I've got one of the air chisels, and it is useless, absolutely no guts in it whatsoever.

However, the cheapo rattle gun and accessories pack has been pretty good, it's been well used and abused, and still going strong.

I have been thinking about getting some spray painting gear but i dont know how good they will be.
Also looking at some tools and an engine crane.

Thanks for the info - I bought one of their air chisels about 18 months ago and left it with a 'mate' who was going to grind and temper one of the bits so I could use it on Series 2 rivets.

He hasn't done it yet so I have no idea how good/bad it was going to be.

I might just go and get a better one from elsewhere...

Bought the touch up spray bottle a while ago - around $39.

Leaks when you hold it at an angle (had to hold a rag around it to stop the drips) and then the little screw fell out rendering it useless. By fluke, i had a replacement one that fitted (used to hold engines into an RC model) and got it working again.

Been meaning to go in an get my money back, but haven't got around to it yet.

Take it back and see if they'll give you a complete ratchet wrench!

Just a word of advise - do not chisel the rivets off your aluminium panels!
Use a drill slightly smaller and just drill down until about the skin, bottom of the rivet head, a light tap with a chisel is all you need then.
Drilling right through opens up the hole as we aren't all perfect.
If you just chisel the rivet head off you will tear the skin

I probably should have used more words.

My intention was to use it to INSERT new rivets.
