Power pop rivet tool

Just had this thrust into my internet.

As crap as some of these "shopping channel" things are I thought it was quite a good idea.
Looking at them , theres a few different ones on the bay of China

I have one, they work really well. But you have to use them with a battery powered drill or screwdriver. A mains powered drill doesn't have the initial torque, they just stall.

I've wondered about getting a powered riveter - often see the air powered versions. I'll probably buy that unless someone shouts "don't"

read lots of reviews ........ i'm not buying it.

Common complaints are its very slow at a maximim 2 rivets a minute, struggling to remove the rivet shank after rivetting and lots of reports of failure. Someone disassembled theirs (no guarentee they're all the same) but it pulls on a very small thread. They did break theirs pulling stainless rivets which i think is probably asking a bit much, others didn't say what rivet they used.

I bought one of these on eBay a while ago.
Air Riveter
I have only used it lightly but it seems quite good.
Capable of installing at a fast rate

I bought a pneumatic one when had to set hundreds of rivets putting the floor into the Phoenix. Greatest thing since sliced bread in my opinion. I paid quite a lot for mine but this one looks very similar for not much money and a 3 year warranty. It even claims to do stainless. let me make it clear that I know nothing about this having only just come across it and am not recommending it; just pointing it out. But I do like SGS products
