Where to buy a rivet gun on a Sunday?

My rivet gun is U/S.

I blame Fesycresy for smashing it with a hammer but anyway, I have riveting to do and I need one tomorrow.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Local Screwfix can't get one until Tuesday. Halfords doesn't have one. Can't find one on B&Q website. Not looking good...

B&Q don't list many hand tools on their site. I got a Stanley one from our local one the other week.

Try drilling the holes the right size this time, then you won't have to twat it with a hammer

Those Woolworths tools don't take much of a beating do they
