A generic hand riveter from the local hardware store will work fine. It's
even reasonable to do a C3-size antenna for "expedition/FD" style operation,
although for a weekend operation, I leave out some of the rivets to save
both on putting them in and drilling them out again. And I admit I don't
break the antenna down all the way.
But... that said, do any of you on the reflector know of a reasonably priced
power riveter? Ideally a rechargeable electric riveter would be great, but a
small pneumatic one would be cool, tool.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Rivet Tool?
Well, I let my fingers do the walking and I have a Tango 34 on the way.
Well, at least ordered even though it's not yet sent.) Never having had a
Force 12 antenna before, I forgot to ask about a rivet tool. Any
recommendations?
