Well, I am getting ready to replace the seals on my doghouse and there are a slew of pop rivets that need to come out. In the past I have drilled them and sometimes clipped them off, but time has passed and modern technology has revealed a number of pop rivet removal tools that I am wondering if they are any good.
Any PIREPS on getting the rivets out cleanly? The old seal is literally decomposing, so there should be a lot of play for most of them; i.e., easy to clip off. Drilling typically works best when they're tight, but I wondered if these tools have some sort of magic to them that makes it quick and easy.
