Riveting Die, Long Loop Anvil

Works ok. Needs improvement.

First off, I got one that was off-center and they replaced it immediately. Fantastic. The tool itself flexes a LOT and it has a rough finish, nothing like the picture. You can’t punch rivets straight through leather anymore or it deflects and deforms. You have to pre-punch holes to get it to splash the rivets. I made a metal block that inserts into the throat of the tool so that I could reduce the flexing as much as possible. Good tool but it needs some improvement.
