Rivet gun
hello

I have a cheap as chips rivet gun, with the series III, I can see myself wanting to change stuff and rivet it back...

I guess the one I have will do the job, is it worth spending a bit more though?

What do people use... No idea what is a good one or how much to spend?

Thanks

Air riveters are the best by far, but they are bulky and access can be an issue.

Next best in my experience are the lazy tongs style, lowest impact on the user, but you do need a reasonable amount of room to wield them effectively

I've had the same cheap one for 30 years and it's still going strong. If it works why change it ?

Maker has got it spot on.
Air riveter is so painless if you have quite a number to do but access can be very limiting upto impossible to get into nooks & cranies. For example fitting a bulkhead removal bar.
I would not buy the cheapest air riveter but spend just a little more.

I bought one of the above & it has done plenty of work without any issues
