Hey Guys,
I searched around , and found a few "styles" and pictures...

Then made my own.... it does the job....

Here's some pictures of my homemade , screw type , Dimpler....

The head of the screw I'm using is slightly "under" flush...

I'd rather have that , than sticking up a little...

The tool and die doesn't spin while being formed....

The lower nut tightens up by ratchet , not scaring the aluminum....

Here's the pictures and test on a scrap piece of aluminum...
