Reply to "How to select the correct semi tubular rivet clinching tool"

Hi George,

Lionel sold 5 different sizes of rivet setting tools. Each one is rated for a particular size rivet. I just picked out the tool closest to the rivet size I am setting. When picking out a rivet, I use a magnet. Those rivets the magnet does not pick up are brass. They will form much better than the steel rivets. Many of the setting tools are not Lionel. The Lionel tools are the correct shape and are machined very smooth. They will work better than the after market tools.
