when i put my atr cat back on last weekend it said to drill out the rivets that hold the metal bracket to the car where the end of the catylytic converter and start of cat back exhaust meet.

i must have broke 20 drill bits and i was doing my best to keep the drill level(it has built in water levels) i finally used my 18v ryobi sawzall with a long demoltion blade and got the things off.

i've gotten rivets off stuff before pretty easy but these things were like the size of rivets they use to hold battleships together.

anyone else had problems with this?
 
They're called semi-tubular rivets. I'd like to find some because I need to put one back together.
