Can anyone recommend a good quality pneumatic riveter that is available locally in Australia.

 

Thanks

Hi Chris, I bought a gun kit on ebay for around $185.00 landed including 28 snaps and 3 bucking bars. Sioux,APT,Dotco,Jiffy, Ingersoll Rand are the some of brands I'd be looking for in a 2x or 3x size .401 shank fit, for the average kit.Check out the following site in the USA Cheers T87 http://www.cpostores.com/yardstore/browse.cfm/2,402.htm

G'day Chris,

 

Not sure what's available in Australia but Zenith aircraft sell a riveter with their aircraft kits. Have a look at http://www.zenithair.com/kit/tools/index.html

Aircraft Tool Supply Company - www.aircraft-tool.com

 

Will take on-line orders and offer good service, even to replacing a tool part which I admitted broke through a mistake on my part, and not charging for it.

I could be wrong, but the Zenith rivetter is probably just for pulling Avex pop rivets of which my CH701 has about 7000.

Folks - thanks for your responses.

 

T87 - I had a look at http://www.idp.net.au. They appear to stock quite a good range. I couldn't see any prices though. Did you email their sales people for those prices you have ?

 

Bushcaddy105 - I read on the builder's section of the RA-Aus site a similar comment by a chap called Tony Stiller (BushCaddy rep at Caboolture) who also found exceptional service with Aircraft Tool Supply Co. I place alot of value on service so it is good to know there are some serious and decent suppliers out there.

 

vk3auu - thanks and that's a nice looking CH701.

 

Regards,

 

Chris
