Rivet tool recommendations

For simple riveting jobs like you describe I use the Brakeman's Riveting tool. It comes as a set with everything you will need.  Google it for information. There are dealers that carry it. I got my set at York.

I use it as well.  For simple stuff like couplers, trucks, sliding shoes, and the like, it's more than sufficient.  You don't need some of the more exotic stuff unless you actually have a use, the large block on the upper left for example.

Here is the web site for Brakeman's Riveter. You can buy direct.

Hi Greg

I purchased the Brake man set at Christmas time. I did my KW carbon rolls and was very happy with the purchase.
