Tool Review: Cleaveland 12" C-Frame Back Rivet

[larrynew]

I may have found my new favorite tool. Here's a short u-tube video of my friend who's never riveted before using my new Cleaveland Tools 12" C-frame back riveter. He had no problems getting a good -4 universal head rivet set on the horizontal stabilizer rear spar.

i've used the c frame for the spars as well. I don't have a pneumatic squeezer, so that was the quickest way for me to do a good job.

funny thing was, i had to put some in with a tungsten bare and rivet gun, they end up looking better! maybe the tungsten bar has a good finish that translates to the shop head appearance.
