Decent riveter recommendation
Seeing as every rivet gun on Amazon gets poor reviews, can anyone recommend one that will do 6.4mm aluminium rivets without exploding into a thousand pieces or requiring the strength of Hercules? 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Will watch with interest - used two different makes recently & both were a real pain sending a jarring pain through my hands on almost every rivet.

I did wonder whether the quality of the rivets themselves had much of a baring on the situation.

Waiting for Makita to bring out an 18v cordless one...

I know that's the style (lazy tong) I need but looking for a specific recommendation of a brand/product. A lot of them have poor reviews particular from people who used them with 6mm+ rivets. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I'm sure I saw a thread on here recently where a few people recommended a Laser 3736 riveter which you can find on Amazon. Never used it myself so can't comment n it though..
