Rivet smashing

[bodiebill]

I have set of Toth Tools jaws for my HF bolt cutter.
Can anyone advise the proper adjust of the jaw spacing for proper rivet crushing. How do you make the adjustment?

there is a bolt on the back of the cutter, that sets how far the jaws close. start with little pressure where the rivet starts to smash, then tighten the bolt up a little more until the rivet is smashed below the trunnion rivet opening. rivets smash fairly easy with cutters so you dont have to strain your nut doing it.
