Why would you want a lever on the head

How’s that foot pedal going to work for you when you’re in an awkward position or tight spot? Like cramped up in the fuselage. The mod that I am referring to is not a lever. It’s a two stage button wired down the air tube to the foot pedal.

I just have my dog, Jade, step on the pedal. She's a really smart dog. She manipulates the pedals while Dax drives the box truck too.
But seriously, I'm a repeat offender and I can't recall using a squeezer while being cramped in the fuselage, but anything is possible. Nonetheless, it probably won't be a huge issue for most.

I have used my knee on several occasions. Your other hand actually works as well or elbow.
I haven't found a spot yet where I could not use it where I had to squeeze a rivet.

PM me for plans of the C-frame tool. Maybe we will put them on the website at some point.

Does this have, or do you need an adjustable set holder for this device? I really want to stay away from shims/set heights...
Can you please provide c-frame plans? I did not see them on the website.
Thanks...

Pneumatic squeezer - just use -10 washers, much quicker.
Numatx squeezer....... You don't need to ! You just have 2 pressure settings on your gauge, one for -3 rivets, 1 for -4 rivets. The whole thing self sets irrespective of rivet length.
It is wizardry !!!

Longer hyd hose?
Does anyone using the Numatx with standard 6' hydraulic hose ever wish for a longer hose?
I see that flyboyaccesories.com has an option for a 2' longer hose but it adds about $100. I am seriously thinking of buying a Numatx system and curious if $100 is best spent for more hose or something else.

Never found the hose length to be an issue. I nearly always use my unit sat on a stool, foot pedal at an easy distance. The head is so light it can get into tight spaces without doing your wrists in.

Any updates on the company? Facebook page hasn't been updated in over a year (and no reply to message, but in all fairness its only been a day), website won't allow purchase online, no stock at AS+S.
