    Hi Peter,
    I don’t have the exact one but I do have the hex bolt and round rivet versions. Both of which are very good and easy to use.

              Hi Jim nice work with the rivets, looks 100% better than the ordinary punch out discs that I'm making, I'm trawling the internet as I type this :smiling3:.

                Well, heard good things about the RP Toolz tools Not very cheap but I guess good quality comes at a price. Still on my wishlist for years now :P

                Cheers

                    Hi Scottie, I thought you might I have just ordered the one shown & the small hex head punch set, I've always used the Meng nut sets but now I'm using so many it's time to get punch set and make my own.

                      A cheaper alternative if you don’t intend using thousands, might be to buy pre-made Masterclub resin rivets (or bolts). I used some on my fish submersible to replace some lost to sanding and can highly recommend them.
                      They cost £2.95 for a pack of 100-160 (price is dependant on scale).

                        I'm with Norman on this, think the Tool is great as Jim ,Simon and Scottie can confirm but if you don't need that many the a pack of 100 would last me. Still not opened mine !
                        Steve we know you have them for breakfast !
