Air riveters rock !

Even a crap one is going to be a hundred times better than doing it by hand

We got ours from machine mart, riveted a whole car with it, and it's still working as good as new.

Best thing since sliced bread, they really put the rivets in nice and quick aswell,

air reveters are great and battery powered ones are good too so much easier that breaking your knuckles

I just used one of the lazy tonges ones in the end and a little Wiko hand one for smaller bits.

That worked fine for me.

I'm getting one of those Rivnut/Riveters that DemonTweeks sell for £60+vat, although, being a local tool shop its only £50 all in.
