I'm planning to buy a complete kit from one of the major names, but Brown Tool has a Cleco 4X rivet gun on special for $259. Apparently this is normally a $600+ gun and I hate to pass up a good deal even though other brands/generics are cheaper.
From their site:
"The CLECO 4X Rivet Gun has long been considered one of the best rivet guns available. Has a 1/4" aluminum rivet capacity, hits at 1700 blows per minute. Weighs 3.3 lbs, 8.7" long. Accepts industry standard .401 shank rivet sets. Quick change style retaining spring included. Built-in air regulator allows for very precise power adjustment. EXTREMELY SENSITIVE Trigger enables smooth and deliberate riveting."
Now I know a 3X is what most use, but are there drawbacks to buying a 4X gun? Is there a danger of overdriving or otherwise screwing something up?
