I have used both and can recommend the Avery.
The Avery one has the advantage that its dimple and flat inserts are of a
slightly smaller diameter than the Tatco. When you are squeezing the rivets
for the BC4W10 bearings that extra bit of room makes a big difference if you
are going to get the heads flat. With the tatco the edge of the squeezing
block hits the rim of the bearing block.

Gidday,
Well I have recently seen the excellent results of a solid rivet squeezer
and was wondering if someone knows of the best brand or type to get? I know
there is not much solid rivetwork to be done on our Europas but I would
really like to get a faultless job, and have the tool for building that
Aerobatic competition a/c that one of my children is going to win the World
Aerobatic Titles in! :-)))
I know of 2 brands out there, the Tatco sold by Aircraft Spruce, and one
made by The Avery Tool company. The Tatco is $114.85 out of the last
catalogue I have, and the Avery is about $190 with interchangeable yokes
for adaption to an airdriven rivet gun. So is the Tatco product OK, or if
this is a path to go down should the Avery get the nod?
Thanks in anticipation
