I have a cheap Laser one, (£20) works fine. The m3 mandrel is weak but laser generally swap them for free.

+1 for Memfast





I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

Don't buy anything silver line. All they are good for is scrap. Saying that my silver line rivnut tool is the only thing that hasn't broken. If I didn't get it free from work I prob would buy the memfast one. (I use the memfast rivnuts)

Thanks guys, the memfast and geispa ones look lovely, but I can't justify £100 on one tool just for the car right now I'm not a Silverline fan either...

I'll check out the Laser ones

I bought an Eclipse, supposed to be top quality - broke it!

But they did replace the parts under warranty no problem.

Hi

Either use a converter for your pop rivet tool: http://www.lasaero.com/site/products/article?id=T02UY0WNP

Or use: http://www.lasaero.com/site/products/article?id=J00228QJ9
