    Just to be sure, you are talking rivet squeezer and not a puller correct? I bought a 1.5 inch throat squeezer from Wicks for $40 at Oshkosh. They still show them for $46 but are out of stock. You would have to buy the dies also. The 1.5 has worked for everything I have used it on so far. I used solid rivets (have to check on size) as opposed to pop rivets for the flaperon trailing edge. The aluminum is too thin to countersink so I did use a dimple die for that.

    Yes a squeezer. Some places I have seen solid rivits used and they look better to me. Thank on heads on on Wicks, I'll take a look.
