Tool recommendations

Post by immortality »

Hi guys,

I'm looking at getting a rivgun. Any recommendations (good and bad), what to get/what to avoid.

I'm probably after the smaller version like a pop rivet gun so it can be used in confined spaces.

i have an ebay one which works well, i also have used a Wurth one - it feels nicer to use but the ebay one is fine in terms of value and some small tweaks

I have that one, I've used it several hundred times no issues. The Kincrome one went in the bin pretty soon after purchase...

Hey Gareth,

The eBay add shows 3 different types. Is it the 430 piece kit that you bought?

Thanks.

Sure was :thumbup:

I bought stainless rivnuts to use on the race car (elsewhere on ebay), they are somewhat harder to install (require more force to install) but that tool hasn't missed a beat and isn't showing any signs of wear.
