I am working on a Stack On R-25 tool box, I know it ain't worth much but I have to do a S-K box (its a small one) so this one was practice so I would get it right the first time.

Is this riveter what I need for riveting the handles and lock to the tool box?

And no Harbor Freight suggestions, I won't buy from there.

That sets pop-rivets, probably not what your looking for.

Nice tool, but not what you need if you're trying to match existing rivets.

Google semi tubular rivets.

If you want to use pop rivets, sure, that's what you need. If you want to use 'real' rivets you'll likely have to peen them by hand. It's not terribly difficult.
