HELLO STEVE,etal
Happy new YEAR !!THE STANLEY POP RIVET TOOL IS AVAILABLE AT WALL-MART, K-MART,
etc. FOR
ABOUT $14 + Tx.... But look around AT OTHER discounters. This tool made by
others than
Stanley is available for well under $10 and has four(4) die tips. Mine was made
by York
Mfg. and cost a total of $6 look just like the Stanley but not painted the
Yellow color
of Stanley tools. Worked great on my C3 and even better when I added the C3E
element
using 3/16" rivets... I love the C3 and found that it works as well as my TH7
that I
took down offa my 50' tower..
