Default I love CherryMax rivets

Just to update on my previous thread about struggling for perfection with the 4-8 CherryMax rivets and a cheap pop riveter for the center section...

A week or so has passed and replacement rivets (100 of them, if anyone should need some... 75 cents each; Van's charges $1) and the new Cherry pop riveter has arrived and...

Oh, my goodness, I've rarely loved a tool more. Every pull is perfect. Fits in tight spaces. So much better than a non Cherry puller.

Yes. Expensive. $139 I think. But if you have a thing for perfection and using the right tool for the job, I heartily endorse this.

If you're in the upper Midwest and want to use it, holler.

Either the G-27 or G-28 will work (although the Spruce Q/A on G-28 says it won't work with CherryMax rivets; that's wrong)
