There's a tool you use to slightly bend down the edges of sheet so that when you rivet

it onto another piece the edge is tight. I saw that tool at a tool display at the

Arlington EAA Fly In Airshow but have lost my notes. I can't remember the company name

that sold these tools nor the name of that kind of a simple tool.



The tool is hand held and has rollers so it just bends the edge of the piece down

slightly.



What is a likely company name for such aircraft tools and what's the tool called?



Also I need a recommendation for clecos. The ones I am using aren't quite right, I

have to use a little spacer to make them tight when going through two thin sheets.

Better still buy direct from the Avery family business ($19) at:

http://www.averytools.com/p-45-edge-rolling-tool.aspx

 I've gotten most of my sheet metal tools from them with good service.

That's what I need! The one I saw had handles similar to a plier but this one from

Aircraft Spruce will do the trick.



Thanks. Still looking for a cleco recommendation.

thanks for the tip. Looks like the same one AS sells below for a better price.

This is probably the one you saw, it's just a little pricey.

I got my clecos's from Spruce. I was ordering all kinds of other  

stuff from them early on in my building process, and didn't bother  

with shopping for price, just  "send 'em so I can get 'er done!"  

There is a place in Oscoda, Michigan...an aircraft tool company  

(maybe even goes by that name) that also sells them. Maybe a google  

search will turn them up.

Yep, that's it. Double the cost of the circular one. I wonder which one would be better?

You had 25 days to relax and didn't spend any of that time learning  

how to spell....just kidding, Mal....welcome back to the group. I  

have a friend who had a Searey with a Rotax 914 on it, and he got  

tired of bending landing gear and tore it apart and sold the pieces.  

And that's not to say it was entirely the planes' fault. Glad to see  

somebody could tame that thing, 'cause it looks like it would be a  

blast on the water...which my friend never tried.
