I've got a question about the size of yokes on pneumatic rivet squeezers.
If you have adequate room to work, is there any disadvantage of using a larger than necessary yoke? Say, I'm riveting a piece 1" wide material to another with a 5/16" overlap, obviously a 2" deep yoke will work, but why wouldn't I want to use a 3", 4", or a longeron yoke? If I'm purchasing additional yokes, why wouldn't I buy a yoke that is capable of not only doing specialty work, but normal flat work in areas where clearance isn't a factor? At over $0.1 AMU's per yoke, I'd rather have one or two that will give me the most options and borrow or rent those for the occasional special or tight fit job. Thanks, Jim |
