No dremel. You drill out the rivets with a drill. You use a drill bit in a drill. At least I think that's what you are asking(I just picked out the key words and went from there).
 
I think the largest "DRILL" bit you could slide in the dremel would work in kind of low speed. Better if you have a chuck that could fit bigger drill bits.

Except that your standard Dremel rotates in the opposite direction of most drill bits, that is to say, couterclockwise.

Yeah, but it's not as easy as that sounds. Usually I drill through the "hole" in the front then drill it from the back, since the "head" is round and damn hard to get the drill bit to stick.

I bought myself a riveting tool for $4 and got a LOT of rivets to boot :)

Oh oh I didn't notice that but I use my dremel for drilling holes in the 1/2 Acrylic sheet I'm workin on(gonna be a WC Box). So yeh it's worth tryin if you just want to use dremel but yeh If you got the money buy a rivetin tool, it wlil add up to your hardcore moddin toys.
 
Rivets need to be drilled out. For Comp case use 1/4 or 1/8.

Cheers,
 
yeah, do what they all said...



and yeah, if you wanna but rivets back in, you can just pickup a cheap tool... but the one i have is pretty expensive
