Kenn,
The review is correct to some extent. I used about 2 dozen rivets getting the tool adjusted and practicing making the head look correct. The center of the shaved rivets have a freshly machined appearance while the rest of the head are slightly oxidized. I think once the machined area weathers a little you will not be able to tell they are pop rivets. So far I have installed about 100 rivets and the cutter seems to be holding up just fine. I am using alum rivets though. Not sure how it would do with steel rivets.

Your coach is really looking nice. If I don't get after it your going to blow right by me.
Michael
