[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 439453, member: 19781"] I suspect your problem is the air riveter. Blind rivets require a bit of technique to get a good draw. The best way is to slowly tighten the rivet... giving it time to draw the pieces together. Then to re-grip the tool and pop it. If you don't do it that way the rivet can break before it's had a chance to draw the 2 surfaces together... I imagine that air riveter works quite fast doesn't it ? [/QUOTE]
