Tooling up for a -9A build. It's a Quick Build fuse and wings, and the empennage is already finished thanks to Synergy Air's 1 week intensive build/learn class. So I won't be doing a huge amount of riveting, nevertheless, I do need a rivet gun.
Avery Tools sells theirs for $150. But they state it's a clone of the Chicago Pneumatic model, which one can get on eBay used for $60. Or one can get a new USATCO gun for $105. Shipping is about $10 for each of them.
Since I won't be doing as much riveting as a Standard Build, I'm thinking I can save a little money by getting a used or cheaper new rivet gun. But I would like one that has a teasing trigger that works at least somewhat. So I seek the greater wisdom here on any guns to avoid, or any to especially seek.
Thanks--
