Rivet Push
Push that stubborn rivet down, works great. Just drilled out old screwdriver with 3/32 bit. Great for sore fingers.

I should sale a lot of my ideas, One of the main reasons I made this tool was, I saw on the Slat build video where the rivet didn't want to go in so the guy said you can drill out the hole again and the rivet will go right in. Well that works; the only problem is, now the holes that were designed to line up perfectly... DON'T. So I got a tweaked Slat and the same for my Flaps. Made me very unhappy.. If you force a few rivets in the rest will go in easier and it won't tweak the part you are building. Drilling out the hole when it is offset is VERY BAD ADVICE. I even used a hammer with some holes without any problems.

Great Idea. I will be making one this weekend. I am sure that I have an old screwdriver laying around.

You know some of those rivets just don't want to go down, and on cold days my fingers couldn't handle it, had to do something. With this tool you have leverage. No more drilling, just push it in.
