david.hill64 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Just bought a second one from him last month. excellent service. P&P is I think £7 to UK for the rivet press. He takes only cheques or cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michl080 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 morning, I would like to resurrect that thread. At this time, the "heavy duty universal rivet tool" is not available. My question is: Are the smaller versions good enough for 7mm kit building. I notice that there is a standard and a universal version available. Which one would you recommended? Has anybody any idea about packaging and posting to continental Europe? Did anybody pick up the tools personally in Lancing? best regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postage will depend on the weight, but I am on holiday in Germany so cannot check mine. Perhaps somebody else on here can tell you and you can check on line the postage cost. That will of course depend which courier is used. If you have the GW number, give him a call and I'm sure he will advise you. Cheers, Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guius Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hello Michael, I have a GW heavy duty rivet embossing tool and true enough you could quiet easily get away by buying the smaller version for 7mm work. The only caveat being the larger tool has a bigger throat. By this I mean a larger area to rotate and manipulate your work piece without the frame of the tool getting in your way. A pleasure to use BTW, and wouldn't be without mine now. (No connection with the owner of G W Models) F Y O.
