Air pop rivet tool
The subject has come up for me to use pop rivets along the edges of sheeting
rather than special stitching self drilling screws @ $.17 - $.26 per. I have always wanted an air pop rivet tool, and it's one of those things that if I had one, I'd probably use it more on some projects. Question: Is this tool like a HF cheapie thing, or is it worth it to buy one that will last a lifetime? And it seems they are all fairly inexpensive, $25 - $60. Is it worth the extra dough to get a decent one over the HF version, or is this a tool that will see such little use that a cheap one will last long enough? Brand name suggestions?
