For big rivets you need steel hands!

I've never used rivets, always used nuts and bolts and I'd like to. Looks like a good piece, solid, right price, but oh my god it killed my hands, the pressure required in the final step to tighten the rivet and then cut it was monumental, I even did mine twisted his back, I had to use a large channel locks on the rivet gun, as well as handles on the rivet gun. It was really bad, if you had two boys or a bigfoot on hand it wouldn't be a problem. LOL grips need to be twice as long for serious leverage. I still ruined my day ten times more than I could have imagined.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
