Why hydraulic? I've used manual models and pneumatic, but hydraulic seems
like overkill for any pop rivet I've run into. Even with rivnuts, I've only
used manual tools. I've used Greenlee hydraulic tools for chassis punches,
but pulling a 3 1/4" punch through a panel is a little more work.

I have some stainless pop rivets I bought for some reason. They are a bit bigger than the usual 1/8 inch aluminium rivets. They might be 3/16th dia. I do not have a hydraulic puller, and managed to use the stainless pop rivets anyway. But a hydraulic puller would be nice if one was using very many.

The air and hydraulic tools for pop rivits are cheap enough and will
really...really save wear and tear on your arms, shoulders and hands.

I have a Neiko...but didnt pay anywhere near this price.....

This is the big one that Harbor Freight also sells. Works well.

Etc etc.

When used properly..and for the right sorts of work...invaluable. When
used on the wrong sorts of work...dangerous and unreliable

I've used a bunch of different ones over the years. Back in the past a
lot of snowmobiles and tracks were put together with them. Air/Hydro
made it so much easier to pull those 3/16" stainless rivets... Or get
muscle cramps using a manual gun..

I have one of the HF units, Seems to work as well as a few others I've
used. But it's collecting dust at the moment.
