anyone getting started with all those rivet holes to dimple might be interested in this tool. It uses your standard rivet gun and a straight set (an old wore out set) to form a dimple with the simple squeeze of the trigger. Here is a short video of the tool in action dimpling the outboard bottom wing skin for an RV10. I did both bottom skins in 40 minutes. It goes faster with a helper who can slide the skin along while the other person pulls the trigger. Anyone interested in more details I will furnish more pictures on email request. The male die is on the bottom.
