Hey everyone. Ever have a squeezer that won't squeeze? I have a new squeezer that came in my kit, I've used it to dimple, and squeeze 3/32 rivets on practice kits, but I just started riveting on the plane and with the 1/8" rivets (universal and flush 4-5's) it's like it doesn't have enough power to squeeze it. The squeezer has full travel on its own, but stops cold when it meets the rivet. Is it a lemon, or a lemon setup …
My setup

Compressor line is at 90psi with a 25' line 3/8" dia with 1/4" fittings to the squeezer.
The squeezer has a 1/8" universal die on top, and a 1/8" flush on the ram.
Would greatly appreciate any wisdom for this newb. Thanks!
