Make sure you read the instructions for the throw on the Main Squeeze from Cleveland. I was setting AD3-4 rivets on the rear spar on my horizontal stabilizer and over extended the throw on the handles which broke my squeezer. I was using two flat rivet sets which caused the setting to go beyond the 1" - 1 1/8 " that the instuctions says not to go past on the rod setting. I read the instructions when I first got the tool back in April but never checked them afterwards. When dimpling you are OK because the dies won't exceed the distance. Now its going to cost me $35.00 to get it fixed at Cleveland plus freight to and from. I'm trying to work on other components while its at Cleveland but this has been a real inconvienence - admittedly self inflicted.
