Rosie the Riveter

[darkhelmet25]

I just saw Paul's review of the Rosie the Riveter on the new show. I'd like to purchase these, ideally as a set, but not sure where to look. UMM-USA has some individually. May be willing to pay extra to get direct from the manufacturer. When I went to the website Paul showed on the packaging it indicated 'under construction' and had an instruction guide on using the tool. Any thoughts on where to order these from a reliable source? Thx

Thanks, Paul. Any thoughts on the single vs. the double vs. the triple riveting tools they make?

Wouldn't it depend on what plane your building. If it had triple rivets then you would need that tool to keep all the rivets evenly spaced.

Sure, accuracy of the rivet pattern is an important consideration, but I was primarily interested in the functionality of the different tools and the durability of those with more than one wheel, i.e., how are they to use, how accurate do the results look, will they potentially get out of sync or go wobbly, etc. Just curious if anyone has had experience with the multi-wheel versions of these tools given the price premium.

going by Paul's review he seems very taken with them. Better than the other look alike and seems to be more durable. If I needed a double or a triple one that's the one I would buy. I already have a trumpeter single, which I have never used ( seemed like I might need it one day ) as of yet.

I wouldn't just space out and rivet each line separately myself, using dymo tape.

Thanks, Digger. I think I'll go with the single wheel version and see how that goes. Thanks for your input and responses.

Thanks, Paul. I was leaning this way, as well. The single wheel should be able to take care of what I'll be doing. Thanks again - Matt
