Thanx. Just what needed to be sure.

Hi Billy,

I have a 1 year old inspector. He really can't help yet so he works in the inspection department. Did I say that out loud? Oh yea, I'm retired I can say that out loud :-)

Anyway, bring the cleaned part over and I'll have the inspector look it over.

Hi all, billy,
Glad you like the new rivet tool. Milwaukee M12. I just ordered one, with the charger and bag and bigger battery. $299 on amazon, about $100 off retail. nice to pop rivets now without running a compressor and all the noise. Keep at your project , we love your posts.
