What are the little cups with lids on them that you use to store all the little rivets? (Shown at the end of the video) I assume the lids are magnetic so as to stick to the lid of your tool chest.
You’re correct. They’re small plastic jars with metal lids. I put magnets in the lid of my tool chest so all of those jars can live there. Each one is labeled on the side and bottom with its contents.
I thought about buying an inexpensive one today, but they were out of stock. This is good, because it would've been an impulse buy. I thought it would be nice to have on hand. But, there just aren't enough pulled rivets on the RV-8 to justify the cost of a good pneumatic puller. I think the problem is was having in the video was more an issue of the rivet type. These are closed-end rivets designed to be leakproof. They're just fussy.

Haven’t had a chance to view your tools video yet. Any thoughts on a pneumatic rivet puller? They aren’t cheap.

Makes sense. Thanks for the advice.
