[QUOTE="Skidz, post: 198961, member: 3920"] Use a slightly larger bit than the small hole in the middle. Most pop rivets are 1/8 or 3/16 in diameter. The middle hole is smaller, just big enough for the pin. You only need to use a bit that is big enough to get the flange off, the rest can usually be pushed through the hole. You don't want to use a larger bit, or you may enlarge the hole too much, or wallow it out to where it won't hold the next rivet very well. Skidz [/QUOTE]
