[QUOTE="BassBlaster, post: 223119, member: 2865"] If were only considering time and money, I can rebuck a rivot before you can get your pack of JB Weld opened and I can replace a rivot or at least be very close to finished in the time it takes you to mix yours up. As far as money goes, It cost me $13 for my air hammer, I made a bucking bit from one of the bits that came with it. I get the rivots local by the pound at $6 a pound. Theres a whole lotta rivots in a pound. So I guess my way costs a few dollars more but were talking a few bucks for a permanent proper fix rather than a fix that will need to be fixed again. This assumes one allready has a compressor to run the air hammer. If not, go borrow one. Everyone knows someone with a compressor. It dosnt have to be fancy. Mine is a little small 5 gal pancake compressor that is better suited for airing up tires. I cant buck rivots back to back to back but I'm not building boats, just fixing leaky rivots. It dosnt kill me to have to wait a couple minutes after a few rivots for the compressor to catch up. [/QUOTE]
