    So there are a ton of threads on what tool to use to rivet targets and how expensive they are etc.

    I decided to try something new. After doing some research on rivet size on the Leather forums and such I bought an 1900s Rex #27 Leather riveter off ebay for 10$.

    Works like a charm. This is a good alternative to hand tools and expensive presses

    Here are some pics. I taped over the face and rivet head to make sure they were not damaged.

    Quoted from jibmums:

    Does it look like this press will be able to handle riveting things like mounting brackets to metal ball guides, flasher bulb sockets to plastics, etc.?

    Its a press. I dont see any reason why it wouldnt

    Quoted from pinhead52:

    Do you swap in the standard dies that are available?

    Its a fixed press. One size only.

    Ill throw it in the tool box and let you take a look at TPF
