Just curious as I'm about to start riveting up my flaps by hand. Do you think it is possible for Van's to design in more rivets than he did? I'm starting to think that 1/2 the RV empty weight is rivets. Ok, enough complaining, time to get back in the basement. Bill R.

Pneumatic is nice but not necessary. Think of it a part of a gym membership.

I've never regretted it one minute. It'll produce superior and consistent results. Well worth the money in my opinion.

I am sure I could have lived without it, but building is supposed to be fun.
