My CHT132 lazy tongs riveter broke yesterday. It's not quite two years
old and has only done 200 rivets. I emailed Clarke for spare parts
availability. Here's part of the reply:

"Good Morning,
We are sorry to hear of the experience you have had with your riveter.
Unfortunately we do not have any replacement jaws in stock, We are
awaiting for jaws to come into our stock."

No indication of when, but I suspect I'm just being fobbed off. So I
won't be buying any more Clarke items.

What's the advantage of the lazy tong type? Far more bits to break than a
lever one. And not going to fit into a confined space so easily.
