That rivet attachment is sweet, thanks for the video, exactly what I needed. I was stuck on getting the old handle out and I was going to use screws, but I’ll use the 2 hammer technique with a rivet now.

That rivet tool is worth more than the shovel. 😅 in my video, I just beat it into submission. But I appreciate the grain discussion in yours!

Very good explanation on why the old handle broke and how to prevent that. I think you should have put the rivet gun rounded bit on the rivet head, and the bucking bar (hammer) on the shank tail to get the best rivet shank expansion and a tighter fit though.

Great demonstration, and explanation, particularly on the grain and label. That rivet setter was some of the best tool porn I've seen in a long time and has created almost terminal tool envy. Could you please tell me the brand and vintage?

Just out of curiosity, wouldn't you want the rivet set on the manufactured head and the hammer on the side your bucking? When I took my sheet metal class to get my A&P that's what we did so I assume that you use different methods depending on the application.

1:45 grinder,,, on spade I had an old fashioned metal file worked too,,, the rivet\bolt was quite mild steel. ,,, it was a long time ago, I might have also used a cold chisel to lift the edges and a hacksaw . What I'm saying , to anyone enthusiastic about doing this job but without a nicely equipped workshop, is,,,, you don't necessarily have to go out and buy a grinder :) Thanks for the video, it's a lot more realistic than another couple I watched :) I suspect a lot of us might not have a rivet tool,,,, the hammering method would make a useful video for us ill-equiped engineers! ;)

I have the exact same vise. Got it at Builders Square about 20 years ago. Nice cheap Made in China vise . I believe I paid $25. My only complaint is that the casting was bad so the Chinese manufacturers used some kind of a filler (Bondo, etc.) to hide the casting flaws.
@schsch2390

Most castings have some degree of bondo, but you want only enough to fill irregularities less than 1/8" deep.

Good video but the replacement shovel handles are not universal....in addition to the necked down one you used, they also make ones with just a straight taper, ones with the slot pre cut, and also ones with a bit of a curvature on the shovel end.

You missed 1 step, you need to heat up the metal where the handle will slide into so it expands.

Depends on the quality of tools. Cheapo Home Depot shovels are cheaper to replace. The shovels they use on construction sites come from places they buy agregates and heavy equipment. If it's a $40 shovel you can replace the handle and they sell those as well.

For "new" as in bought five years ago, probably so. For a 50 years old still going strong shovel head a handle replacement is cheaper I've burned out a half dozen cheapo plastic shovels (they eventually shattered) but my 50 years old one still chugged along until I snapped the original handle. I noticed that the new handle is as strong as popcorn compared to the 50 years old broken original (Ash)

Or you could walk into any Home Depot and buy a new shovel and be done. On line right now they show a replacement handle for $15 and an entirely new shovel for $9.98.
