Hello guys.

Does anyone have experience of closing steel rivets with a hydraulic press? I am looking at 6mm rivets. What sort of pressure would be required?

I have developed tennis elbow and hammering is pretty painful!!

Any advice gratefully received.

May just get away with a 10T if you use a conical former before the proper snap, a 20T should do it with just a snap.
