Re: (OT) Drill Cord or Battery

[drew <drew@dyermaker.cs.uoguelph.ca>]

To remove the rivets use a good sharp chisel and chisel the heads off. You
can then use a punch to drive the rivets out.  It's *way* faster than
drilling, and you don't run the risk of drilling off centre or too deep
and creating an oblong hole in the control arm.

No power required (unless, of course you have an air chisel... :) )

No toolbox should be without a good selection of good chisels - I'm
halfway there, as witnessed by the damned door pin that took 15 minutes to
chisel through on Daun's 87.
