rivet squeezer yokes Jim Burns 05-01-2006
I have got a question about the size of yokes on pneumatic rivet squeezers.

If you have adequate room to work, is there any disadvantage of using a
larger than necessary yoke?

Say, I am riveting a piece 1" wide material to another with a 5/16" overlap,
obviously a 2" deep yoke will work, but why wouldn't I want to use a 3", 4",
or a longeron yoke? If I am purchasing additional yokes, why wouldn't I buy
a yoke that is capable of not only doing specialty work, but normal flat
work in areas where clearance is not a factor? At over $0.1 AMU's per yoke,
I would rather have one or two that will give me the most options and borrow or
rent those for the occasional special or tight fit job.

Thanks,
Jim
