The correct tip has a longer axial dimension than the smallest tip. We had never discussed the issue of using the right size tip on the puller, but it is important. I met Bob at Sun-n'-Fun last year and thanked him for his help. I use WD-40 as it seems to last longer than a silicone lube. It has worked great ever since with only disassembly and lubrication on a few occasions. When I recieved it I noticed it had the next larger tip on it. Finally Bob sent me a new puller all set up and ready to use. We tried adjustments to the internals and using silicone lubricant to no avail. I called Bob Avery, as I heard he was very helpful on these matters.
I immediately had problems getting the mandrels to release from the puller after the rivet was set. There were no instructions stating which tip to use so I used the tip that fit the rivet mandrels best. When I recieved the puller I started using it right away. The Taylor rivet puller that Avery Tools sells is good investment and makes the building experience fun not work. I purchased the pneumatic puller after pulling only a few rivets by hand and realized I had 12,500 of these to do. best of luck-īe advised if anyone uses the Taylor pneumatic rivet puller that Avery sells, they should not use the smallest tip on the puller even though it fits the rivet mandrels on the LP4-4 rivets. both of mine were obtained on e-bay for around 100 dollars each. if you can obtain one of these it is a very good investment in a very high quality tool. since getting the G1 i found a NG1 (latest model) so now have two. as a bonus the avdel sucks the rivets into the nose piece and when pulled deposits the mandrels into the hopper. there is no vibration and cycles instantly.
i also have two cherry max, pop rivet prg-510 and two other quality riveters - none start to compare to the Avdel.
my friends who are also building the 12 are amazed at my rivets. there is NO-burr of any kind on any of my rivets. the Avdel is made in England by the same people that make the Avex rivet (used in rv-12 construction).
I investigated carefully what gun to use in my rv12 construction - i purchased a Avdel G1 genisis industrial lightweight gun. Any one else with this problem and if so what did you do? I use a high quality pneumatic rivet gun. It is the rivet nail being broken off to near the surface of the rivet. Thanks for your comment Coy Russaw, have a nice day.Just got started on a 12 and notice that when I run my finger down a row of pop rivets there are a few with a sharp, small protrusion a little above the head of the rivet.

This video is brought to you by sailrite in this video we'll show you how to disassemble and reassemble an arrow RH 200 s professional rivet tool first remove the wrench / screwdriver from the handle lock the tool in the depressed position use the screwdriver and twist the pin 180 degrees place your thumb over the top hole in the tool using a standard big pin push the pin all the way out leave your thumb over the hole and remove the big pin from the hole now remove your thumb and slowly tilt the tool to remove the barrel spring jaws and jaw pusher all-in-one assembly now you have access to all those parts in the barrel to reassemble the rivet tool hold jaws together so they form a cone shape and carefully insert them into the barrel held horizontally then using the end of a big pen again push the jaws slowly to the end of the barrel with Bic pen in place check the end of the barrel to be sure the jaws are resting like you see here in the video if not perform the task again next insert the jaw pusher into the end of the barrel then the spring carefully drop the assembled barrel back into the tool ensuring the barrels holes face to the side of the tool release the handles take the pin and rotate it around you will notice a flat side on the pin this flat side should face up when inserting it back into the hole push the pin in while slightly depressing the handles up and down as shown in the video until the pin enters the side hole once inside the first portion of the hole lock the handles in the down position again now take the big pin and push down on the spring while pushing on the lock pin pull the big pin out when spring is depressed enough to clear the lock in use the screwdriver and turn the pin so the flat side is up against the end of the spring locking the assembly in place enjoy hundreds of free videos at the sailrite youtube channel or CRI calm
