Is anybody using the Harbor Freight #97857 air tool for pounding
solid rivets? It comes with a straight rivet set. I don't see bucking
bars though....

Hi Steve,
That is exactly the tool I used to buck the rivets on my plane. It works good and the straight 3/16 nose piece is all you need to set all the rivets in the spar.
If you need any suggestions for rivet removal, feel free to checkout how I removed my rivets here: http://adonisweb.homeserver.com/AdonisWeb/Rivet.html or look for the article on this subject in the April 2010 issue of Sport Aviation.
Good luck,
Ken Pavlou

Our local Harbor Freight didn't have one in stock. I got to looking
on line and found the 2602A at ATS on sale for $90. Had to get the
rivet sets separately for $22. With free shipping and no tax, it came
out nearly the same.

I have that tool and a real 4x rivet gun. The real rivet gun gives me much more control of the set of the rivet. I can pull the trigger a little bit and get soft taps or pull the trigger all the way and get full hits. The HF model is all on or all off as I recall.

Hi Ron,
We may not have the same 3X rivet gun from HF. The one I have has very good control. The trigger is smooth and allows you to go from gentle taps to full power very nicely. It's quite comparable to my real 2X aircraft rivet gun.

I have the Harbor Freight tool and it hits harder than my "real" 3x gun and has excellent control. 17$
