Gang:
I needed to remove a bunch of rivets from my QB fuselage. (Why is another story...)
This is a 3-step process which involves [1] punching out the mandrel, [2] drilling off the head and [3] drilling/pushing out the shop head. I modified an automatic pin punch into a one-hand tool for punching out the mandrels, so that I could do this as a 1-man job. The other hand holds a support bar behind the panel to make the punch more effective.
Modification takes 5 minutes. Tool costs $4. Time and trouble saved is a *lot*.
The tool is shown and discussed at:
