huck air powered riveter

[woodsideraff]

Has anyone had experience with the Huck air powered riveter? Seems like a nice unit (should be for $300). I'm wondering if one pays for quality or for features not needed for the RV12.

Thanks and regards,

Rafael

Raphael,

I have one and also a cheapie. The Huck is very nicely balanced and the mandrel sheers off neatly but is loud, the mandrel can be discharged accurately into the waste can. The cheapie is not well balanced and leaves a rough finish to the rivet but is quieter, the mandrel ends up anywhere!!

The Huck won't pull Cherry rivets, the cheapie will.

my tuppence worth.
