Hey that's a good idea and i have some.

Members JayEhl Posted February 11, 2022 Members Report Posted February 11, 2022 Hi, This thread interested me because recently (okay, more times than recent) I've had to remove a rivet and learned the hard way that it was easy to damage the leather and I had to be more careful. I generally used what @Dwight detailed and it does work for me, but I'm always looking for better ways to do things. I had to go online to see what an extraction pliers looked like but those all over the map. Is this more of a 'heavy duty' set of pliers like this? or may I ask if someone post a picture of what they're using? Quote

Members JayEhl Posted February 11, 2022 Members Report Posted February 11, 2022 interesting.. .... but without going to the evil zon, for $13 for a dental tool is there something similar that could be found in regular hardware stores? Quote

No mess. Quote
