I was stuck for one, so nipped up to the local Wilko' and got one for about £6. Four changeable sizes, spanner included and it works a treat. Nice easy onehanded operation too.

Think we've got a Stanley swivel head one which really helps for getting rivets into tight spaces especially after 5he car is all together and you've put more than a few in really awkward places

depends ont he job you are doing, air powered for lots of rivets, lazy tongs to big rivets if you dont have air, and swivel head for akward places, buy all three!

I got a YATO one off ebay, small size (fits in your hand) 4rivet sizes. I thought being so small compared to some it'd be harder to use when it comes to the pressure needed to break the rivet but it's really easy.
