CHERRY Q RIVETS?

[EDMO 1078]

Question:   Can Cherry "Q" Stainless Rivets be pulled with a regular rivet gun?  I know the Cherry "N" rivets can be pulled with one, and that CherryMAX and Cherry Commercial Aerospace rivets have to use the special puller head.

Hey Ed, I've never used them, but it seems a standard pneumatic rivet puller will work according to the second post in this thread:

Thanks Luke,

       I got different messages from the site you posted - Guess I will find out soon - and Grainger stocks structural blind rivets in several sizes and materials - that is where I get mine - different brand than Cherry, but the structural rivets have the ridges on the stem like the Cherry Q.
