All good points and I have removed factory rivets every way known to man, including the X method, recip saw, grinding/punching head, etc., etc., etc. Since I am parting and restoring '60-'66 Chevy/GMC trucks for a living, I spend a lot of time stripping frames, which means lots of factory rivets. When I was doing it for giggles, all of the aforementioned methods were feasible, but these methods are no longer time-efficient, therefore, I am looking for some input on the long-stroke air hammers/chisels, that are better suited for the task-at-hand.

Manufacturers and/or model numbers are what I am seeking. I have priced several guns and I am aware they can be a little pricey, but I have determined this is the best method for me and my operation, to remove numerous factory rivets. Thanks for the input and let me know if you have had a good experience with any certain make or model.
