I was soooo looking forward to owning and trying my first rivet gun, so I bought this one....
Looks nice. Clean. New. All the forums I read and even the people I spoke to who had built or are building an aluminium aircraft said the 3X pneumatic rivet gun was the one to get. It's a good compromise of weight and power. It'll set those slightly larger rivets demanded from it by the Vans kits.
So why did I buy the 2X Rivet gun???! Not really sure. I'm guessing I pressed the wrong button when I ordered it. Oh, well. I now have a rivet gun to learn with as it's going to be a little while before I need the next one up and the 2X should do the smaller rivets just fine.
This is the one I meant to get...
Yep, I agree - looks the same.......except for the little '3' in place of the '2' and a little more weight behind it. Maybe they even used the same photo.
