Thought these would be a good idea, especially for those of you doing the D51 as I have noticed on some posts the rivets are attracted to carpet monstersLOL .
So thought these might help and cheaper than the ones from model manufactures.

Hope this helps someone out.

That's a very good price Peter. I think I paid that for 2 and then there was postage. I use them all the time, especially for very small PE, I find that they work much better than the tacky Silicone ones. You can also shape the tip to suit the job, the only thing to watch out for is that they can leave a wax deposit behind, particularly if you press too hard when picking up.
