 DRDT-2 Dimpler aircraft tool

Technical Description:

The DRDT-2 dimpler aircraft tool is a welded steel c-frame rivet dimpler.  It replaces common impact c-frame rivet dimplers. With its simple mechanical advantage, dimpling is fast, easy, noise free, less fatiguing and safe on skins, stringers, ribs, spars, bulkheads and other critical parts.  A fully adjustable die holder allows for consistent and accurate dimples.  The unit incorporates a low force spring return system that prevents part damage from the accidental release of the handle.  The dimpler has a 22" throat depth which allows dimpling of up to 44" wide sheets. The relief under the lower frame member provides dimpling access to spars, ribs, leading edge skins. Designed and analyzed using state of the art engineering tools the DRDT-2 can handle all dimpling needs on any aircraft sheet metal repair or building project. 

With this unit dimpling is consistent, easy, safe, less fatiguing and noise free. The dimpler can be operated at anytime day or night without disturbing family or neighbors.  This allows the first time aircraft builder to achieve professional quality results.

The DRDT-2 is finished with an industrial powder coat giving one of the toughest finishes available.  The unit comes ready to dimple (minor assembly required).  See the
