I finnaly bit the bullet and ordered the Rivet Press from PinRestore.  After 3 plastic sets and the nail bitting, swearing, and general just pissed off ness from having to deal with tubular rivets on pinballs I decided to buy it.



It came in the mail today and I used it as soon as I got it and man oh man is it ever friking sweet!!  No more damaging rivet heads, no more cracking plastics, no more struggling to to get the rivet nice and snug.  This thing works PERFECT in every way, I did 6 rivets which would usually take me about 25 mins to do with the setup, prep, carfully adjusting, the rivet press had 6 rivets done in about 10 mins and they came out perfect.  

If anyone needs something riveted don't hesisitate to ask and drop on buy with the part.
