    Funny you should mention that. I asked our shop to buy a rivet gun, or at least a hand tool kit to repair rivets on our tarps and banners. They didn't have a clue. I told them I would buy something for doing repairs. No problem. Cash reimbursement for company expenses.

    Sorry for your learning experience. Those guns pack a wallop. I have done a lot of work with them over the years. They need respect.

    Actually there are two ways. You can either hurt yourself or watch someone else do damage to themselves.

    LOL!

    The true story is that driver was "stunned" (concussed) and later drove away.

    Word to the wise, when swinging doors in a high wind, be EXTRA careful.
