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...

Shame they don't ship to NZ.

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.
