Looking at the picture I don't remember mine having that much overhang or the rubber and I did not sand mine. There is no way I could have riveted my wing skins by myself without this tool. One of the better rivet sets I like the swivel part. Other rivet sets you have to keep pretty square this one gives you a little lead way.

This is where this set shines. I wouldn't trust another set with a reach like this


Glad it's working for you, Dale.

Swivel Rivet set
 
i wouldnt be without mine, like the other posters though I spent a few years compiling a tray full of used Ebay sets.

I did notice on the photo one thing. When I went to Sun N Fun I went to a workshop that suggest holding the rivet gun with the MIDDLE finger on the trigger. WOW did that help hold the rivet gun steady. Much better than using the index finger.

I didnt have to sand my rubber down on my swivel set but it does work fine.

Good luck

I started doing that with my air drill a while back. It does help keep it straight. I'll have to remember to try it witht the rivet gun. If it cools off a little tonight I'll be doing some more riveting.
