Hello all,

I will need to start thinking about my trailing edge rivets in the coming months. These as you all know are the tiny little brass looking solids which require the squeeze tool.

Which model rivet squeezer is the preferred model? just looking for something that has done a nice job for others as there seems to be many models out there.

Thanks,

Mike.

HI Michael,

Check with Brown Tools in Oklahoma. They will recommend good quality tools whether US made or offshore.

If you have enough access, you might be able to use these Knipex pliers. I have used them on another plane to set small rivets.  Harbor Freight has a less expensive version that is also quite nice. This is a very versatile tool and I use mine often.
