![]() ![]() So you see you don't want to spend a bunch of money just to find out the tool won't work. The (screw) driver for the jury rig I made is less than 5/16" (.302") and it's almost too big. To get one of these tools to fit a 5/32" rivet.the shafts are running 1/2".and that will not fit past the shoe and onto the rivet. I've found a BUNCH of these tools for om $15 -$60 BUT like Gary said in one of his replies there's a clearance problem. roll clincher die and you can tell a little better what it looks like. It's a drawing that clearly shows the profile of the tool. There's a better photo online but for now I can't seem to find it. The tool, third from the right is what I'm after. You're 100% correct.you want the rivet to roll. Ob.yea the "key" to the roll is the shape of the tool.hence the tools name "Hand Roll Clincher". I swear that I found them AFTER I made mine. ![]() I've been looking online for a few days now and have found a couple of rigs similar to the one I made.but they "squeeze" the rivet instead of hammer. I requested a price but I figure it's going to be more than I want to invest and it's hard to tell from the photo's if it would work. Yes, I had already been on that site looking at hand roll clinchers but not the tool you are talking about. There's a correct tool out there and the search continues.įrom Mayberry, NC. In the mean time I'm going to get more linings and more rivets (some of the ones I got this time are too short.) I have a lot of these I want to do and will probably wait to see if somebody has pity on me and tells me where to find the correct tool. I only did one shoe for now.my anvil was too tall and it bent at the groove in it (not sure what that was for?) So I shortened it then reset it. Then the second.and you can see how the first rivet turned out. ![]() Then I put the screw in the drill press and with a file I worked the nub that used to hold the foot on down to a point. I also found a pin out of a hinge to use as an anvil and drilled the clamp to except it and used a little expoy to help hold it in. I drilled the threads out of the top so the screw would just slide through the clamp. I took a cheap c-clamp and removed the screw. Okay.I gave the pros a chance to skip this part. ![]()
