Such as this one:

Does it retain the chisel better than the spring? I'm having an issue
where the chisel flies off. Very annoying when I'm working on the 2nd
floor and it drops to the 1st floor. 'Kinda irritating to the guys on
the 1st floor who have to dodge it, too.

Thanks,
Bob

I got one for my snap-on gun some 20 years ago. Never had an issue
with it. I had it throw a chisel once but I was pushing hard in a
tight spot and managed to push the collar back far enough to loose its
grip on the chisel. That would be the only drawback, it's thicker
than the spring which may limit its use in some places. Thats a hell
of a price at harborfreight.



I wonder if I can get it to work on my air riveters?

You just opened the window for a glimpse at the liberal mindset. You
people think, for some unknown reason, that since you are infinitely
more "intelligient" than the "average" citizen then it's not only your
God given right, but a responsibilty to tell everyone else how they
should live, spend their money, what to eat, what to drive, how much
to eat and drink and what to set your thermostat to. Of course, those
same rules don't apply to you because you, being a highly educated
individual with a degree in the "arts", don't have to abide by those
same rules. Thank GOD you are in the minority.
