Abstract
A tool for removing a rivet with a hole and a head from a first article that is attached to a second article includes a frame, an anvil, a push pin, and a driver. The frame includes first and second arms. The anvil includes a tube with an opening and is disposed on the first arm of the frame. The push pin is slidably engaged with the second arm of the frame and is aligned coaxially with the anvil. The push pin is configured to engage with a hole in a tail end of the rivet in order to remove the rivet from the first article. The driver is attached to the frame and is configured to move the push pin in a linear direction towards the anvil in order to push the rivet out of engagement with the first article and such that the first and second articles become unattached.
