Don't forget dies. Squeezer won't work without them.

I have a small bag I picked up from Airparts at SnF. They come in handy once in a while.

Problem with this item is when you go to remove it the next time......

I just took my 7" Nipex parallel jaw pliers and pinched a 1/8" bite on a penny and pinched it from .050 to less than .010......

Try that with your $135.00 rivet squeezer.......

I recently purchased a set after a friend recommended them.

Thanks for a new use for my new tools.
