Last June, I purchased a pneumatic rivet squeezer from Avery tools. It worked great until lately, when it petulantly refused to squeeze 1/8 inch rivets. I called Avery Tools in Fort Worth and Bob Avery called me back. He told me to send him the squeezer and he would check it out. I sent it to Avery with a letter. In the last line of the letter, I joked that Bob should lecture the squeezer and tell him to straighten up and fly right. On Monday, I received the following e-mail: Dear Stephen: I disassembled your squeezer and left him locked up overnight with all the loose parts in my squeezer parts bin. I threatened him with life without parole in the parts bin should he not straighten up & fly right. (It's quite easy to get that here in Texas -- it's called "cowboy justice" and all you need to get a conviction is to wear cowboy boots & a cowboy hat to court and present as exhibit "A" a 6 pack of longnecks !!). The next day I cleaned up all the parts, polished a few key internal parts, re-greased all the bearings, and reassembled. Gave him a serious talking to and reminded him what fate awaits him should he return to Texas. I've had him squeeze a couple dozen 1/8" rivets and he seems to be doing just fine now. I've included a book for the purpose of reading him his rights, should he stray and start acting up again. He is on the way back to you today. Regards; Bob Avery P.S. No charge -- all the other parts in the bin took up a collection to pay his fine -- seems they don't want him around since he is such a bad boy!! Besides being a great humorist, Bob Avery is a stand up guy. I must have been out of warranty on the squeezer, but Bob came to the rescue at no charge. For all of you out there building (or contemplating building) a RV you really should get a pneumatic squeezer. It is indispensable. And if you are wondering where to purchase such an implement, Avery tools would be the obvious answer. A guy with this much devotion (and humor) just has to be rewarded.

Contacted Bob...he said send it and I will check it out. He did! Sent it back ASAP. Has worked great since. Avery is the best. Bye the way the 90 degree drill is off probabtion, but I understand is in a witness protection program because of rating out a bad squeezer bought from rival gang . Frank @ SGU and SLC... RV7A 75% complete 150% to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >From: "Ashby Family Law" >To: >Subject: RV8-List: Avery Tools >Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 09:36:36 -0500 > >--> RV8-List message posted by: "Ashby Family Law" > > >This is my first post, so please excuse me if I err.
