Is There Such A Thing As A Long-Armed Rivet Hand Press

Recommended Posts

I have the Tandy Hand Press, but there are times I need to set rivets in places that cannot be reached with this press. I also tend to use a thicker, stiffer leather, so I cannot bend it to make it fit underneath. Obviously, I can set them by hand, but is there something that exists that is "long-armed" or something? Sometimes there are a lot of rivets and I'd much prefer to use a press or something...

Thanks in advance!

The two questions I have, how deep of a throat will you require on the press and what's your budget?

I don't know what range they have as far as throat depth, but 6 or 8" would be nice. I'm not sure what this kind of thing costs....

There are a variety of presses sold by Weaver, Ohio Bag etc., most are limited to 5-6 inch throats but you can phone them to verify.

You might consider modifying a deep throat lever press.

Buy the standard dies and modify the ram to accept them.
