In this video, we address a common frustration among technicians—receiving equipment that hasn’t been properly cleaned or reset. Barry is joined by Randy from I-CAR to discuss considerations on how to maintain and inspect both battery-powered and pneumatic riveting machines.
They cover the importance of keeping dies and tools clean, ensuring batteries are charged, and performing regular oil changes on pneumatic tools. The discussion also touches on what to look for during inspections, including glue residue, metal shavings, and worn O-rings. Whether you perform maintenance in-house, or outsource equipment maintenance to vendors, early detection of issues and reliable servicing can aid in repair quality. Maintaining clean, functional tools is not only about performance—it also improves efficiency and sets the next technician up for success.
