After all the discussion last week about removing the broken rivet 

stem from the riveter, I discovered a new way to do it.  After the 

stem is broken and the trigger is released the stem is just held in 

the riveter by gravity.  If you tip the nose up the stem will fall in 

the little plastic cup in the rear of the riveter.

If you allow too many stems to accumulate in the cup they will fall back

into the riveter and jam the thing up. Don't ask how I know.

I try to pull the rivets, move rivet gun to the bench (or catch bucket) then release the trigger with the nose pointing down.  The stem just falls out. They sweep up just fine from the floor also.    



Enjoy the building

Can you not take the cup off...Never had one on mine and it worked

perfectly right throughout the build...Rivet tails fall on floor
