Hello, Im considering buying an air rivet gun and wanted to know if anyone had any input as to what to stay away from, what to look for etc... I have to install some 3/16 steel rivets in an uncomfortable position. I have put in a few by hand, but it taxes you quite a bit, and really shoots a pain up your hand and wrist when the mandrel finally snaps. Thanks Craig

A few years back I bought the Jet Pneumatic riviter, it has several tips and goes up to 3/16 IIRC, runs on a fairly small consumption of air and has proved so useful I am hard put to remember where my manual riveter is now.
