I'm about to rivet the 1mm rivets to the bin lids,could anyone recommends a riveting tool to do the job? All of the rivet gun's minimum rivet size is 3mm.
Cheers in advance

Re: Rivet tool
3/64" is 1.2mm, so might be OK.

Re: Rivet tool
May be stating the obvious, but the rivets do not need to be "riveted" . A dab of industrial strength glue and some pliers to snip the protruding part internally would do the trick as well.

Re: Rivet tool
What's wrong with a hammer and dolly. I did all the rivets on my 251 that way.
