I'm of your thought, select the proper tool for the job. However this thread clearly has a strong 'best contender for Macgyver of the year' headwind that is growing
To that, presuming the OP were to ensure those gusset thingies of the first rungs (plus feet) were transferred to the new first rung, what if screws plus nylock nuts were used in place of the rivets to avoid any possible issues with home/hand rivet and riveting quality?
