    90% of Pinball rivets are semi-tubular 1/8” diameter. Lengths will vary. Occasionally you need some 3/32”ones, on things like Bally SS Ball guides. If you use steel ones, the rivet press is best. The hand held clincher is good for a lot of quick and dirty jobs, but it can gouge the rivet head since your not using the cup die.

    Drilling out the old rivets is a lot more work than riveting the new ones
