Hi, jumping in for the first time on the list,

  On the subject of rivets/eyelets, this link may be of interest. (not sure 
if they have been mentioned before)

  They seem to have the same tools (and better pictures) and parts, 
hopefully at a better price.
  Not sure if they do small  orders, maybe a group purchase could be arranged.
