I have a rivet jig inbound. What size press should I get?

Most people use a 12 ton, although if you want to go higher like a 20 ton that would be okay as well.

Here is a decent chinese A frame 12 ton from Harbor Freight
12 ton A Frame

if you do any other kind of work with it.......the 20 ton is the way to go, other than that the 12 gets the job done for building AK's

If you bought it at HF, I hope you used the 20% off coupon. It will work fine. I have a 12 ton and plan on selling it once I'm done with my builds. I have no other use for it.
