I know that squeezer tools are rated at typically two to four tons, but what are the actual pressures required? I'm trying to work out the dimensions on a hand operated gantry for dimpling and back-riveting the skins on an RV, and I don't want to over-engineer the thing too much... Thanks, --Max until you get a sensible answer... take a piece of dressed soft pine place the rivet hammer on it and pull the trigger. adjust the pressure down until the hammer action fails to mark the pine. that should be just about right.
