CHOOSE THE TOOL FOR YOUR WORK
Match the exact rivet row and its two different diameters
Choose the Osborne 170-9 by its exact model and the rivet it is intended to set, rather than a generic number-nine label. The manufacturer’s row identifies copper rivet size 9, a 0.171 in setter-hole diameter and a 0.161 in rivet-shank diameter. The larger tool opening and the rivet shank are different parts of the fit; do not substitute one dimension for the other.
The No.170 family is described as forged steel with a polished face and hardened working end. The Amazon model is 170-9, matching the specific manufacturer row. This is a setter tool, not an itemized supply of rivets, burrs, a hammer or a press system.
Compare the DGOL only if its own stated No.9/No.12 hardware range matches your rivets; sharing a nominal size label does not establish universal compatibility between families. The maker lists 5 oz while the Amazon entry says 3.99 oz, so confirm weight if it matters to your setup. No exact striking procedure or maintenance method is supplied here.
