I’m about 90% done with my tail using the M12. Works perfectly and quite enough to work just below my daughter’s nursery.

I use the M-12 rivet puller in a high school build. Nice and quiet but painfully slow.

I've pulled a few thousand rivets with the M12. It was pricey, but I'm so glad I got it. Haven't used the pneumatic puller since. It is a tad slower, so if you were doing a ton of rivets at once I might consider the pneumatic. But the reality is that it's just so convenient. No loud compressor, no air hoses. I've still never had to recharge the battery yet.

Awesome tool, highly recommend.

I have the M12, but haven't pulled any rivets with it yet. I will post once I start, which will be soon hopefully.

Will check out RV-12, Sonex, and Zenith forums.

Looking at tools to buy for the Panther project. Driven plenty of wing spar solid rivets in the past, but not much experience installing pull rivets.

Has anyone here used the Milwaukee cordless M-12 Rivet puller?
