Default Quick Follow Up

Tim sent me a photo of the smallest nose-piece for his puller. There was a countersink where the maker had 'overdeburred' the hole. (Sounds like other common forum topics). This will have the same effect of sucking the rivets up into the nose-piece as using the wrong sized nose-piece. I have faced off flat, one of the nose pieces that we had here for Tim. Others may wish to do the same to control the look of the finished rivets. Feel free to send me your nose-pieces if you wish and I will do the same and return it to you. Really I am just trying to set the internet record for the number of times "nose-piece" is used in a paragraph.

Default Canopy rivets

I ran into the same issue using a hand puller. I also had 3 or 4 rivets that were not CS type and didn't notice until after pulling a few. Sorted out the pack as received from Vans and found more!
