As far as I know, all the hand and pneumatic squeezers avalilable accept the same .187" shank dimple dies and rivet sets. In fact, Avery and Cleveland squeezers both use pneumatic squeezer yokes. A "springback" dimple die is machined to make a slightly deeper dimple to compensate for the springback in the aluminum when it is formed. In other words, it just makes a crisper, better fitting dimple than a cheaper die which doesn't take that into consideration. A full explanation of a springback dimple die is given in the Avery tools catalog. It really comes down to a matter of quality in materials and accuracy in the die. Cleveland, Avery, Brown, and others have good quality stainless dies.

What is the difference between the two die types? Will the spring back work with a pneumatic squeeze? -Ted- N371N Working on Elevators --- Version: 6.0.406 / Virus Database: 229 - Release Date: 10/22/02
