Compression Type Dimpling Tool -- Drop Ships From Supplier (SKU: DRDT2)

  • $540.00

Product Description


DRDT-2  (Dash 2) is a welded steel c-frame rivet dimpler.   With its simple mechanical advantage, dimpling is virtually noise free. With a fully adjustable die holder you can achieve consistent and accurate dimples.  The DRDT-2 incorporates a new low force spring return system that prevents skin damage from the accidental release of the handle without increasing the force required to dimple.  22 throat depth allows dimpling of up to 44 wide sheets. The relief under the lower frame member provides dimpling access to spars, ribs, leading edge skins.

The DRDT-2 is powder coated and comes ready to dimple (minor assembly required).

Excellent tool

I built my RV-14A using this dimpling tool. It did a great job providing consistent dimples.

Quiet consistent results

I bought mine in 2020 when I started to build our RV 14A and glad I did. The plane was painted this spring and the consistent dimples were essential for a nice finish. My workshop and this machine was located right below our bedroom so its quiet operation was why I bought it and I was not disappointed.
After thousands of dimples, the final ones were as nice as the first one, very sturdy
