Here it is, I got it at HomeDepot for $10 and I'd recommend it for anyone putting a convertible top on a frame. The bigger tip that comes with the tool fits the rivets that come with the Robbins top.
Here's how it works:

Pop rivet gun? My Robbins rain rail came with hammer and dolly style rivets, not pop rivets. I've got a pop rivet gun (or two).

We just used a hand rivet tool like in the video for y8s top. $7-10 at your hardware store.

I got a Rigid JobMax multi tool with all the heads. The ratchet head isn't really good for much, but it makes dropping the splash shield an extremely quick job. It's also good for speeding up finger tightening. The oscillating saw is good enough to cut IC piping, and aluminum strips for making all sorts of brackets. The impact driver works amazingly well for the size of the unit, made drilling holes for FM frame rails install a breeze. The regular drill head works well for what it is as well. I just bought a propane torch too, didn't realize these things were so cheap, easy to use, and very useful too for loosening stubborn bolts.

I only have 1 picture of my friend using it in a very non OSHA approved manner. But this thing has been proving itself more and more useful.

haha, I am sure we all love to stick rotating things between our legs...but I think we really should leave that to the women!

Here is to hoping he keeps all his junk in place. I got a few new tools, I will post them up later tonight/tomorrow, with a new How-To for valve reshimming.
