Default decent reasonable hand rivet gun

I got the Stanley Version. Quite sturdy.


Following this conversation, I bought a Draper one, with four heads and
100 rivets, sixteen quid delivered. Probably wouldn't stand up to trade
use, but for my needs [1] it is perfect. Needless to say, I did manage
to get a rivet jammed, but having read the thread, very carefully
dismantled it and got it back together without the dreaded ping****it
syndrome.

[1] Our rear drive gates are the original Gates From Hell. Sheet metal
riveted to a metal frame, probably installed 40+ years ago, rusting
quite well and many of the original rivets are long gone resulting in
the sheets rattling against the frame. Now fixed :-)
