Can huck rivets be pulled with a regular pop rivet gun (either manual or pneumatic)? If not, is there any affordable tool to do it? The huck stuff I found online is outrageously expensive to buy. I'm only looking to do a hundred or so. Also, after they're set, do they have the appearance of a solid rivet?
No, there is not a manual tool for pulling hucks. To see what they look like, Peterbilt cab and hood are ***embled with them as well as van or refrigerated panel and post trailers. 3/16 are used on the panels and 1/4 on the rail in steel or s/s on the grille surround.
