Marson HP-2 Hand Rivet Tool |
Will pull the occasional stainless steel 3/16" w/ steel nail rivet just fine. In fact, I just used the tool to pull the 24 SS rivets on a H16 frame epoxy job. It worked great. The HP-2 isn't rated to pull 3/16" SS, but it does the job. Would I rather have the Big Daddy model? Of course, but couldn't justify the price. |
Available from W.W. Grainger for less than $23.00 Note: These guys have SS 3/16" rivets in 250 packs for $50. Beats the $1 each at the sail shop. Go in with a couple of guys at your fleet or club to split the pack up 5 ways. |
