Well done Shaun on your first rivet job and thanks once again for taking the time to show us all your experiences in life. Your videos are great and I always look forward to them with your down to earth attitude and approach. Keep up the great work and have a successful season, which I am looking forward to watching 🙂
Love your videos Shaun been following you for months! Quick tip as an engineer, the best way to remove a rivet is to drill it with an over side drill bit eg. For a 5mm rivet use a 10mm drill and just drill the head odd and knock the compressed end (the inside) out with a nail or similar. Much quicker and you dont risk opening the hole out in which the rivet sits in 😉
Thanks Ben! I like that tip! .. Can I ask is it really important to get a super snug fit on the rivet when pushing into the hole? On each clip I had one rivet snug and the 2nd rivet needed a smaller head to fit inside the clip
@@LawnRight no the rivet doesn't have to be snug in the hole it can have a little slack when putting it in the hole. You just need to make sure when compressing the rivet the larger round part (the head) is press against the surface and it will pull up tight mate👌
I'm in awe at how great gardenimports were on this. Direct with a "yeah we have a kit for that" perfect for sorting kit. Really loved the DIY element as you made it seem so easy to do! Cleanly explained and described the process. Glad it all got fixed so nicely. I'm no expert but looks a fantastic fix to me !
Good job, Shaun! Any repair that gets you back to work is good. When installing more than one rivet in an item, you can set the first rivet and match drill the remaining holes and set a rivet one at a time to ensure they all fit. For snug rivets, it doesn't take much offset between the holes to make it tough for the rivet to fit.
I was using mine yesterday and I'm looking at the clips like i hope these don't eventually break lol they look abit flimsy on my 2nd year Always make sure i carry "the heavy bugger" over concrete
Hi shaun keep it up you are doing a great job and having fun making some brilliant videos superstar Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall churckery 😮
I bought the 24-inch Landzie spreader last year, and the clips are on the side. The larger Landzie spreaders have the clips like those on Shaun's spreader.
Thank you for the content I have been watching your videos and looking to follow your step by step I was looking at your recommendations on field 4 compost but it works out £26 a bag do you think it makes a big difference compared to the stuff your can get in the shops for like £7?
Good job !!! Was interesting watching ur DIY project in case if I need to replace pop rivet related attachment. Kudos for upload. Anticipating ur next one. Peace
Yesterday, finally got to scarify my front lawn and spread 4 bags of compost with a rake. Heavy rain through the night , welcome for once, Expecting good results in a week or two. Back lawn like a bog - bring on summer. Could cable ties have fixed the clips?
They were brand new, I just assumed they would already be sharp.. in fact I didn't even know you could? OMG if you can then OMG. Ive wasted countless drill bits over the years for being rubbish... now I need to google this! lol
@@LawnRight Might they have been drill bits for wood versus ones for drilling metal? It just appeared to me that they were having a hard time getting through the metal.
@@LawnRight ah very nice. I have seen a couple other brands and they are side mounting the clips so they don't get damaged rolling in the ground. Hope they send you a new model to use.

I do hope tea was great too!
Thanks! I bumbled through it but got there in the end.. And tea was lovely 😁😁
Nice job sir. Its satisfying when you're able to repair your equipment in a world where it's usual to replace.
Thanks! It's a confidence thing for me.. Past DIY projects didn't always go so well
Absolutely love how organic this video was, including the "Dad your teas ready" part.. love it :)
Thanks so much! 😊😊
sorted 👍 can't be without your landzi😊
Thanks mate.. Enjoy the sun.. But don't get blown off the bike!

Thanks for the info! I'm learning 😊🙏👍👍
beau boulot, la chance d'avoir les pièces de remplacement, c'est rare de nos jours
Merci pour vos aimables paroles. Oui. J'étais très heureux d'avoir pu le réparer à un coût aussi bas
Amazing what you can find on RUclips. 🙂
😁
Nice repair work 👍🏻
Thanks 👍. as a billy beginner I was super happy once I had done it :)
Riveting video!
😂😂😂😂

Always make sure i carry "the heavy bugger" over concrete
Me too.. Just need a giant hopper on it now 😊
I might order some of these clips incase I need a repair

D. I. Y = Don't involve yourself.
I'd just of used reusable cable ties to close the hatch. ( or bought a better quality spreader in the first place 🙄)
Hi.. I'm learning something new every day 😊.. Never even knew you could get reusable cable ties (omg)! Thanks for the tip!
Great job mate,I just purchased my first compost spreader but it isn't Lanzie and the clips are on the sides instead of the middle of the drum
Think that's a better setup.. I may upgrade one day
@@LawnRight yh I haven't used it as yet thou,but can't wait to do so

@@Mike--K ok fair one
The new model the clips are on the sides
I've just found out.. Should last longer hopefully!
Yes always thought the clips on mine like Shauns were a poor design the side ones look much better
I ordered some new clips for mine off ebay
Cool.. I hadn't thought about eBay

Hi.. Its just a lot finer in texture. I really like the home bargains growmoor brand in purple bags which is a lot more cost effective
@@LawnRight thank you 🙏🏽

Good luck! Maybe reusable ones.. Never tried them 😊
You might need to sharpen your drill bits.

@@LawnRight Might they have been drill bits for wood versus ones for drilling metal? It just appeared to me that they were having a hard time getting through the metal.
@@kingposeidon9362 It's drilling through thin sheet metal, drills often snag when doing this
Poor design, they should side mount the clips.
Yeah they do now.. This was an earlier model (pre 2023). I will get one of those in the future
@@LawnRight ah very nice. I have seen a couple other brands and they are side mounting the clips so they don't get damaged rolling in the ground. Hope they send you a new model to use.
thanks mate. Have a great weekend
you too.
“You know what. it’s on!” Never doubted you would fix it. 👍
Thanks 😁😁
