Very interesting. At school we were always afraid of drilling rivets and enlarging the hole. It was actually one of the projects on the sheet metal block. I understand now that being afraid does more harm than being confident and pay attention to what you are doing. Thanks for the videos.

love watching your vids. not only im a big fan of the Humming bird your channels has been more than just educational. Learning new things every time you post :)

Good stuff! Had to share.

Great instructions and timing as I will be upgrading the latch (original to JD air) on my RV 7a and will need to remove some rivets. Thanks!

What about the thought that there are times where removing the rivet can do more damage than leaving it alone. Note I’m not talking about a completely tilted rivet, etc. but the relative strength I have been told is very small with slightly overdriven rivets.
