Yes, I?ve got a Harbor Fright one - works fine, but the nose is kind of large in diameter, making it tough to get in close to flanges. The more expensive Taylor guns are narrower. If you?re riveting in ?average? areas, it makes no difference.
I built a couple fo RV?s without one, and it was no problem - bought our pullers when we started building airplanes with pulled rivets, and wouldn?t be without them for that!
