Eastwood Solid Rivet Guns
Anyone ever use an Eastwood Rivet Gun? The company claims that it is about the same as a 4X gun. Since it's so cheap, I thought it could be a re-badged air hammer, but it sounds like a rivet gun in the YouTube videos.

I have a hand squeezer from the yardstore and a ATS 3x gun. Both bought on black friday a few years ago. The hand squeezer ok for -4 and smaller rivets. If you use a hand squeezer on -5 rivets you'll have a much firmer handshake after your done. ;-)

Thanks, Timothy. I think I'll just for the 3X gun set from AS or ATS. For the $200 or so, it'll save me the hassle of trying to do it by hand or with my previous arbor press squeezer method.

I'd recommend a 3x or 2x rivet gun. A 3x rivet gun is nice for the AD470-5 rivets, but a 2x gun can easily handle the smaller 470-3 and 470-4 rivets.
