I got one of those scissor types from Screwfix - bit of a panic buy really as the floor was on and setting and I'd just bust a squeezy type one.
They're about £30 IIRC but well worth it if you've got a few bits to do, only problem is with closed rivets (or any harder to pop type)
they cna tend to bounce off and put "dings" where they aint welcome.

I've got one of the swivel head ones from Screwfix. Its been really useful so far, and still going strong!

I bought one off ebay which came in a screwfix bag, had a screwfix description and used the screwfix image.
Needless to say it wasn't the same as the one is screwfix and broke on the first rivet.
I'll be off to screwfix on saturday to get a proper one. I believe the one I'm after is only a tenner anyway.

what size and type of rivets are you using?
if you're breaking hand rivet guns, your rivets are well overspecced for anything you need on a car.
