Can you tell me how the rivet setter from McMaster Carr works? The tool
is inexpensive ($18), but the description on their website are unclear.
I called the company and they didn't couldn't help me. This is what the
website says about the tool:
Set solid and tinners' rivets with this tool and your hammer. With the
rivet in the setter hole, strike setter to draw sheet metal around the
rivet. Then strike rivet directly to flatten shank. Place the setter's
concave recess over the shank and strike setter again. This forms the
domed head.
You can draw rivets directly through thin metal without
prepunching a hole. Thin metal slugs drop out of the outlet hole on the
side of the tool.
