It&#8217;s a tool, that removes rivets. Seriously, how do they come up with this stuff?<\/p>\n<p>I guess it is kind of expensive (approx. $60), but I&#8217;m a sucker for single use tools. Tools that are designed to do one job and do it AWESOME!<\/p>\n<p>Once I started using the thing, I ended up replacing more rivets than originally planned. It basically works like a drill bit, but has an extra part that grabs the rivet head and keeps it from spinning. And that is the part that drives you fuggin crazy if you don&#8217;t have this tool.<\/p>\n<p>Now I can save my nukes for other things that I swore I would NEVER take off again and used 5200 on.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"http:\/\/palarran.com\/log\/kiss-my-ass-rivets\/\" style=\"background-image: url(http:\/\/ws.assoc-amazon.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B004APCEZU&Format=_SL160_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=palarandcrew-20);\" class=\"thumb_crop\">http:\/\/ws.assoc-amazon.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B004APCEZU&Format=_SL160_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=palarandcrew-20<\/a><p>Ever tried to remove a rivet?
