Default OT advice on air rivet gun wanted

Craig
I recently picked up a bolt cutter style riveter. It certainly made
putting in some 3/16 SS rivets a lot easier. If you have enought room
to work with, these are a cheap alternative, and you don't need an air
hose :-)
not the same model, but works the same

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
