Your probably right.
Tried some last week on some Ally OG guttering with a riveter from Toolstation, failed miserably!
Doesn't leak though!

I've got just a simple clutch type hand riveter, doesn't see much use but when it does I've never had an issue. Oh, and I eats my oats - all these namby pamby cries of "it's hard work, it hurts my little arms...." some people need to grow a pair!!

......now the titanic,that's a different story...

titanics white star engineers downgraded the hull plate rivets from best best iron to best iron at the last minute.
using best best iron would have bought the titanic a few more hours , long enough for the nearest other ship to arrive before sinking.

totally uninteresting yet true fact.

Must be one hell of a pair!

Its not the size of the pair that's a problem, just the damn wheelbarrow that gets in the way all the time.
