New rivet gun!

Post by captain_john »

Here is a pic of me with my new 357X rivet gun working on Kevin Johnson's tailcone!

It shoots really hard and quick!

You should get one too!

I've always prefer the 45X myself, just personal choice I guess. It isn;t as fast but hits really hard. :wink:

I am better at driving tacks, uh.., I mean rivets, with the models that have the stacked rivets instead of the ones in the cylinder shape also. Probably why I prefer them.

At least with the 357X gun you won't have to worry about drilling out rivets.

Maybe we should give CJ a new nick name - I vote for "two-fingered John"...

Hahaha, I knew you guys would get a kick out of that!

We were chillin' at the hangar and yuckin' it up and thought that would be funny to post. I think you agree!
