How can I remove the rivets on a hockey mask? I don\'t have a dremel and my drill is busted? Anyone have any suggestions?

Without a drill and/or a Dremel you\'re kinda stuck. What I do to take rivets off is drill out the center and much as I can, then I take a pair of angled wire cutters to cut off the end of the rivet, then I use them to pry up the washer. After that the top usually just falls off. I wouldn\'t recomend trying a screw driver, that will put a LOT of pressure on the edge of the mask and will msot likely crack it. If you don\'t have the right tools now, wait until you have them, or you\'ll probably end up wrecking the mask.

a hand torch works real good too. but kind of f%#ks up the mask

A drill really is the best thing. Just make sure the bit is nice and sharpe otherwise it\'l drift off center or cause the rivet to spin. Trust me, I use a LOT of rivets at work
