R RViator60 Well Known Member Nov 22, 2019 #1 I need to form a dimple in a #40 hole that I can't access with squeezers. Is there a tool or technique for forming a dimple in a remote location?

M MS1095 Well Known Member Nov 22, 2019 #4 There is also this option if you have room. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/buckingblocks.php?clickkey=6499 I have found that the pop rivet dimples do an OK job at best, especially in SS. YMMV.

YMMV. Click to expand... I made two holders for the dimple dies (from 1/2" steel rod) and use a rivet gun with mushroom head and bucking bar with them. It is easy to ruin the tip of the die if you are not carefull though. But I like the pop rivet tool on thin sheet stock. Larry Last edited: Nov 23, 2019
