Overview
| The Cherry® G-28 is a lightweight (13 oz.) ruggedly compact hand tool designed to efficiently set a broad range of Cherry® commercial rivets. A unique torsion spring keeps the lever arm in place, ready to accept rivet after rivet. The G-28 comes with two popular size nosepieces, 728A9-4 (to set Cherry® N Rivets - 1/8" dia. & Cherry® Q Rivets - 1/8" dia.) and 728A9-6 (to set Cherry® N Rivets - 5/32" & 3/16" dia. & Cherry® Q Rivets - 5/32" & 3/16" dia.), one of which is stored securely out of the way in the riveter handle. |
Reviews
Vans had indicated that you dont really need to buy the expensive Cherry rivet puller to set the CherryMax rivets on an RV-12 if you use good technique and a cheap riveter from the hardware store. Maybe, I did both and was VERY unhappy with the 4-8 rivets on the important center section in the fuselage. At $1 apiece, you dont want to mess up CherryMax rivets, especially if youre a perfectionist. Having done so, however, I caved and bought this tool. Every rivet was PERFECT. Not just good or within tolerances. PERFECT.
Q&A
No, this G28 gun can not be used for inistalling Cherrymax rivets. You will need to get a hydraulic gun like p/n 12-03004 to install these 3/16" Cherrymax rivets, CR3242-6-02.
Our Part# 12-03000 is the G-28 model.
This is for Cherry commercial rivets. The G27 puller will set 1/8 diameter Cherrymax rivets.
This will only pull commercial rivets. Normal "Pop" style and non structural Cherry brand. It will not pull CherryMax rivets.
