Would this be suitable/controllable enough for bucking rivets?

I am familiar with "bucking rivets" so I cannot comment. I purchased the air hammer to use on a 1966 Chevelle I am restoring. I use the impact hammer to uncouple the front suspension and also use the air hammer to cut steel and pound. Has worked good for that. You do need a good size compressor to run the air hammer. I am using a Dewalt 15 gallon compressor (not sure how big of motor in on the compressor, maybe 2 or 3 horsepower motor). But it seems to run the air hammer and my impact wrench just fine.

This air hammer has great power for big jobs, but when you need more percison I would use the short barrel version , with the longer strokes of the long tube version it's hard to control the bounce back.

I am not entirely familiar with that process, but the air hammer is very controllable and well balanced. The trigger is very controllable and easy to get the amount that you want, not like many other hammers that seem to either be on or off. I use this tool quite often, and would definitely recomend it. The only thing i would not be sure of is to whether you would want the long barrel or short barrel for that sort of application. I hope that this is of some help to you.

This model has the most control of all the ingersoll models i have used. You can very lightly buzz something or tear it to shreads by just adjusting your pull pressure. Good for anything I think.

I have been using it to peel aluminum sheet off of damaged coils. Very controllable and user friendly. The long barrel makes it easier to hold and control. I think it would be ok but have not tried it on rivets. One tough machine. Hope this helps.

I doubt it. It is for light duty. For intricate patterns a scroll saw is what you want.

Mine is assembled with rivets, so I would have to say no. At least not without serious modifications.

I believe so, but I don't have it around right now to check. It is a pretty solid tool. I use it for work that needs to have a good base to dismantle projects. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Not really, the variable speed isn't linear when pushing the trigger. It starts slow then suddenly takes off full speed. This will drive the sheet rock screws in too deep.

I am doing stainless rivets in an aircraft. I have found 55 PSI gives a good pull. Not too fast, and usually only one pull.

I believe so. Its short enough for controlled swings, heavy enough with weight forward to cleave thru outer shell w/o much difficulty.

The simple answer is no.You can, technically. There is no hardware thats removable though...you'd loose the loop. You would either have to cut the loop off or, if your crafty, drill out the substantial rivets (5) and take it off. You could, after that, use chicago screws to install your own loop, but thats a project. It's not like a Coldsteel sheath.

I use mine to punch steel castle nuts on AR-15's, should work for your purpose.

Probably if the holes are small and you don't push to hard or get in a hurry. I use it to drill holes in leather for sewing.

So far I have used this vice for clamping almost any item needed except for sawing. I would think that its capabilities would (or could be) extended to light weight sawing; but vigorius of heavy duty sawing I would not count on it.

I assume that there are pre-drilled holes in which case, this would be fine. This screwdriver does not have enough torque for a heavy requirement. Personally, I would look into a screwdriver with more torque. Then you won't be disappointed.

It could work as a saw buck. I'm a a cabinetmaker for 43yrs. Works really good for me.

A rivet is simply a way to weld surfaces to one another, obviously without actually having to weld the two surfaces. In order to rivet two surfaces a pilot hole must exist in both surfaces for the rivet to be inserted and eventually pinch the said surfaces together. So yes, you need to drill holes or have preexisting holes in order to use a rivet on any application. This particular gun comes with 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", and 3/16" rivets and head attachments, so you can use a hole that is one of those sizes or drill a hole that is one of those sizes. If you need more assistance with Rivet related questions, a simple internet search will yield many helpful results. As for this product, it sounds like for your application, it will work fine.

I'd say so. I too a hammer and tapped through my collar onto another hard surface to spread the rivets. My dog Munson still has his on. Bore a hole in the leather about an 1/8" on each side. This will support the rivet and the expansion of the rivet prongs.

Don't know. My husband bought it for his custom trim carpentry business and is extremely satisfied with the purchase. He especially likes that controls for all adjustments are in one hand.

Not a problem in my experience. Leverage and steel constructon work fine. Impressive beyond my expectations.Use it on 7.62 and 30-06. Steel 7.62x54 is stiff and not fun but doable.
