Yes, many times and I have the gun for that
I'll be at Capt's tomorrow, I can bring it there if you want to pick it up, probably He has one also Dr. Fiero ?? |

I have the mega-huge one (like 2ft long) for pulling 1/4"+ steel ones.

I just have a small rivet gun for putting small items onto
things, like door lock plates and such. We ran into the large rivet problem with Nigels car when we were re- installing his window motor. A glass shop had the proper tool and only charged like 10 bucks to install. |

Do you want to borrow mine or the Doctor's ? I think it was cheap, not sure ?? I'll be at Capt's 10-12 only, I can leave it there for you and I don't need it back until next meeting. |

Bring your short one. Just in case I don't make it.
I'm also not sure what time I'll be there. |

Okay, mine is for plastic rivets for under your door.
