My ODC will get me if I stick with the screws....

Well, I haven't a vise at all, likely the better long term buy.  Then then I have the problem where to mount it.  I looked at the MUCH cheaper hand punches that you wack with a hammer.  Though I can just see myself slipping and messing up the paint.  So when that happens I'd be better off buying that costly tool.  So this is what I have been pondering all this time.  I taped off those darn stand offs a dozen of time before removing them.  Trust me, I've thought about it a LOT!

Oh, then for the squeeze tool you have to buy the little bits for the 1/8 rivet too!
