Metal Button That Hurts You
Caps
Have you ever bumped your head with the metal cap button (squatcho)? If you wear a cap, you must have, at least a couple of times. The button on top of the cap, when bumped, drives the inside metal rivet into the top of your head, and always the exact same place. Do your self a favour and remove the metal button, get rid of the pain. I know the button looks smart, but is it worth the pain?
Removing metal button
Take a cutter pliers and gently squeeze, go around a couple of times. Do not try to cut off, simply allow the pliers to pry
apart the rivet, it easily comes apart. Flip the hat over and remove the offending metal rivet.
Metal button removed
With the metal button removed, you will never experience the metal rivet driven into the top of your head again. What a relief.
