Anvils and Roll Clincher Tools from Train Doctor.com

Kurt,

          The anvils and roll clinchers are made to be used with the rivet press.  I never thought about using them as hand tools.  They might work well that way.  I don't know, I've never tried that myself.

I  was searching for flex cable, and came upon Anvils and roll Clinchers from Train Doctor.com (Brasseur Electric Trains).  These all have ST-350- part numbers, and are priced lower than similar tools I have run across.

I am just getting into this and have a few pieces that need rivets, repairs and such, and would like to do the repairs myself.  Currently my budget won't accommodate a $200 press.

Does anyone have any experience with these?  Are these considered 'hand tools'?

Thank you,

Kurt
