In search of a rivet squeezer

#1 Post by steveep » Sun Mar 09, 2025 3:04 pm

I've decided to restore and reseal my tropical roof "the right way" by separating the rain gutter from the roof to replace the original cracked sealant (+stripping and re-gaLvanizing the gutter while it's off). Have the 168 5/32" semi-tubular rivets I need to stick it back together, but trying to avoid spending hundreds of dollars on a rivet squeezer and dies that I'll never use again.

Any chance someone knows where I might be able to rent or borrow one from? //uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202503 ... 8ba76d.jpg

Given the number of rivets in a 109 top you may also want to consider pneumatic options.

Chances are if you buy one and willing to sell it at a bit of a loss, someone else restoring their truck would buy it off of you.
