Most builders have seen the "Oops rivets" that allow you to drill up a size to replace a bad rivet. These are great, but drilling up a whole size (from 3/32" to 1/8" for example) enlarges the original rivet hole considerably.
What many builders don't know is that there are "Oops rivets" available that only require drilling up a half size. For a rivet that's been driven, with the usual minor stretching of the rivet hole, this means that drilling up a half size (from 3/32" to 7/64" for example) is really only cleaning up the hole without needlessly enlarging it.
It's kind of a "no-brainer" to not make the rivet hole any bigger than you need to, right?
You can get these better oops rivets from Blake. They are available to replace -3 and -4 rivets. Check it out here.
