How To Remove Factory Pressed Copper Rivets

Made this video because the normal copper rivet removal tool on the blademaster rivet press can’t pop out rivets on brand new factory pressed skates. I’ve done this a ton of times and wanted to document it. On this take, I sliced too deep passed the rivet AND couldn’t even extract the pin at the final step… So of course, I decided to upload it to CZcams for some laughs.
Feel free to comment below any questions you may have.

Dude you dremel’d the holder. That’s not good especially if your doing this for commercial purposes!

What a rookie. My frames are an irreplaceable top end inline chassis. I would be so pissed.

They are my skates. I'm aware that I did cut into the holder. I mean, I voiced my concern about it immediately after the fact.

Wrong. You dremel the end of the rivet sitting above the washer, flat. Then with a hammer & 8 inch 'spike chisel' you simply tap the rivet until it falls into the boot. You never dremel anywhere near the inline frame or the Tuuk ice holder. What a rookie.

Thanks for the advice. I only had a Dremel cutting tool. Just working with what I had. Completely self taught and there's no information on how to do this on CZcams. If you could find the time to upload a better one, be my guest! Would love to see a master at work.

This is the route I went as well. Drill a flat into the rounded dome so I could place a nail punch and pop the rivet from the washer with no damage to the holder (though I did cover with some tape in case I slipped).
