[QUOTE="whistler, post: 230809, member: 1086"] I am aware of the type rivet you're speaking of I have several and my tool will not set them. For discussion purposes and to help everyone including myself understand and maybe learn a thing or two, how do you explain that all boat manufactures (that I've seen) use solid rivets for the hulls of their aluminum boats. All of our aircraft and the all aluminum Freightliner truck uses solid rivets. Again I'm not saying they are absolutely better but there's got to be something for the majority of the aluminum manufacturing process, when structural integrity in needed they use solid rivets. Maybe with the gauges used after setting them they can be more absolute that every single rivet is up to snuff and correct. Again jigngrub don't take this that I'm putting anything that you're doing as 2nd rate. I'm sure after reading your post your are up to the task, an anything you do will work fine. Are we OK with that part? [/QUOTE]
