I used an attachment for a cordless drill called "Rivedrill'.  I wore out two of them, and except for TBO, I heartily recommend them.  Let me know if you want to know more about them.

Does anyone have any experience or second-hand comments regarding electric rivet pullers such as the "Lobster Tool" gun?  They seem pretty inexpensive and come in cord and cordless models.  Not trying to sell the product, just looking for info.  Thanks.

Thats interesting, I get in trouble from the wife and kids because the air compressor is running all the time. I don't want to hand rivet though. Are the heads compatible with the machined ones from Zenith, or do you have to modify them? At 55 bucks from Aircraft Spruce it is pretty inexpensive too.

Kevin.

     I think the heads on most all riveters have the same thread pattern so 

the heads you have modified from Zenith Aircraft should screw onto an 

electric riveter or any other riveter be it air operated or hand.

Unfortunately, that isn't the case. I have found that there is 

significant variation in the thread patterns on riveters. My hand 

riveter heads will not fit my Harbor Freight pneumatic riveter, for 

instance. Then again, my hand riveters are U.S. made and the H. F. 

riveter is Chinese. It might be a metric vs. SAE difference.

Likewise.  I found different threads on the ZAC-supplied riveter, one from Ace Hardware and the Rivedrill puller.  However, I found that it is not that difficult to customize about any riveter nose piece to a dished nose piece that is standard with ZAC.

Sorry guys but it is not so. I have two pneumatic and two hand riveters and while some heads are interchangeable, some are definitely not.
