How big are your hands?

I have a cheaply hand squeeze one but have only the odd rivet to do it's fine. I could get fed up with it if I had to do more that 5 or 6 in a row

If it's only a couple and you don't intend to do many go cheap. This is what I have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/POP-RIVET-GUN-60...27c2f9c4e7
Does the job as expected arrives very fast and cheaper than chips lol

Only thing I'd advise is when you do it mask the general area off to in case the head of the riveter pops off and damages the paint. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R
