Why hydraulic? I've used manual models and pneumatic, but hydraulic seems
like overkill for any pop rivet I've run into. Even with rivnuts, I've only
used manual tools. I've used Greenlee hydraulic tools for chassis punches,
but pulling a 3 1/4" punch through a panel is a little more work.


Try pulling a few thousand a day and then come back and ask, Why hydraulic?

Wouldn't even dream of it. That's a job for pneumatics!

And - while I can pull 3/16 aluminum with a normal hand tool,
3/16 steel won't go without air.

Maybe this hydraulic unit can pull them?
