| where to find a 1/16 pop rivet gun
I am in need of a hand held pop rivet gun that takes 1/16 pop rivets which they do make,but 99% of the shops only carry 1/8th as the smallest and when you ask they all give the same "I wouldn't know who would make a gun for that size".Does anyone know of a manufacture brand of pop rivet hand guns that will take the 1/16 in pop rivet?I have been search the net for hours and no luck finding the rivet gun :banghead:

I also looked for a tool that will do 1/16" rivets and found none . The smallest was 3/32" . The tool I have has two different nuts that screw into the tool to accept the drawbar of the rivet . These have different sized holes in them for the different sized rivets . Those nuts should have standard threads on them and could easily be made with the smaller drawbar hole . If I had to do 1/16" rivets that would be something I would look at doing . If you knew someone with a lathe it wouldn't take very long to make one .

After a bit more thought about what I need to do,the solid rivets,a hammer with a drift punch would do just fine,these are the solid rivets,just have to fine the length I need. http://www.rivetsinstock.com/rivet67.htm |
