I purchased the complete RV tool kit from Avery so I could practice some riveting skills before my kit arrives. In the kit they send a Stanley MR77 pop riveter. The spent shaft from the first rivet came our the top relatively easily. The spent shaft from the second rivet could only be removed after I disassembled the shaft of the rivet gun. Same with the third rivet. On all the videos I have watched, no one has struggled as I have. I purchased the rivets from Menards to practice with. The package for this rivet gun from Avery says nothing about aviation. I have minimal experience with a pop rivet gun, however the cheap rivet gun I purchased decades ago works well for the project I am practicing on.
I assume I am doing something wrong, because I cannot believe spending over 2 grand for this tool kit, in which is this Stanley pop riveter, would yield me an inferior tool. What do you suggest?
