Rivet tool having reversible anvil

摘要

An improved hand tool is provided which permits easy field removal and replacement of connecting rivets employed with agricultural implement sickle sections, and is especially designed for use with relatively new so-called double sickle sections which present only very limited working clearance. The tool preferably includes a pair of jaw sets respectively extending from each end of a handle. The handle is contoured to allow pivotal adjustment between various sickle section spacings. The jaw sets carry structure for either removing or replacing a rivet on a damaged sickle section without removing the sickle section mounting bar from the cutter bar. A removable anvil is included as a component of the rivet-replacing jaw set to permit replacement of different types of rivets through the simple expedient of reversing the anvil position.
