My pop rivet gun has been playing up today, so I think its time to buy a new one.

I don't have a compressor so I'm looking for a simple manual gun.

Just found this on E-bay but is it worth it?

Looks like folded sheet metal -- Maplin sell something similar for about 10 pounds as do Focus.

I agree with dave r
I have a 1/2inch ratshit and it's been indestructable over more then 15 years. I seem to remember they are gauranteed for life as well.
