Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Where to buy the modified bolt cutters for the short rivets?
Posted: 4/18/2006 6:28:12 PM EDT
I will be using original bulgy (metric) rivets, not the tapco ones that have thicker heads.
Thanks.

Have you considered just making a pair yourself?  They're really pretty easy to make if you have an angle grinder.  You can pick one up for about $15 at Harbor Freight.

I have a set of premade rivet squisher heads for a bolt cutter, and found that they were a bit short for the shorter rivets. I just used a scrap piece of bar stock, cut into a piece a bit larger than the rivet squeezer head, and sandwiched it between the rivet and the bolt cutter heads. Ive also seen some people weld an extra little piece on, but I dont have a welder.

There's some on the EE right now, $35 plus shipping. IN the AK parts forum.
