Hi mate, watching from Australia. I have some rivet guns which I bought, and some are missing pistons, one old gun I have is a Broomwade (UK made). I was thinking to machine some up from suitable steel and harden them. Is the length of the piston critical to the force of the hammer blow, and can the lengths be longer to increase force? Interested to hear your comment. Thanks.

That a great question. I don’t know the answer. I would imagine that a longer piston could work. If it was too long, there would be less throw. (Less space to build momentum) On the other hand, the piston would be heavier, so maybe it would hit harder. I’d be interested to see. It you make a larger piston for it, could you post a video? Good luck, I hope you get them working!

Awesome video. Thank you! Air blowing by and piston freezing up is exactly the problem I have on 2 different guns. The only question I have is why does it happen? Am I not using a thick enough oil? Or is it just bound to happen sooner or later? Either way thanks for the info.

Thanks! Sorry for the delayed response. I haven’t checked in for a while. In my experience, it has always been moisture related. Having an air dryer helps. Even being stored for to long can cause them so seize up.

Do you have to oil it up before putting back together or just make sure the oiler has enough ?

Forgive the delayed response. It’s best to oil everything up when putting it back together.

Do you have a champion rivet buster?

I do not. I believe this one was Chicago pneumatic or atlas copco
