Malcolm, thanks very much for your reply on the shears. I've sent a PM to say, basically, that I am leaning toward the air shears because the electric one is so heavy. I think if the compressor will handle the air flow, the fatigue factor will be less than with electric. I'll follow up more on the shears on my renovation thread.

I don't think you will have any problems with shears with your compressor but I would like to hear how it goes. I still want to buy a pair of shears and I have been debating whether to buy electric ones or air powered. Have you bought your shears yet? Where did you get yours? I think that pretty much any tool that does not use a continuous large volume flow of air will work just fine.
If you have not yet bought a rivet gun I can recommend one like what I bought at Harbor Freight. Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices
Do you have a local Harbor Freight store? If you do you might want to check the online price for anything you buy and call the store before you go to see if the item is in stock. If the store price happens to be higher you can take in the online print out and they will typically honor the online price.
