While installing my Breeze Battery box my Pop-rivet Gun had a come apart! It just could not take the larger rivets needed for the batter box....

Any suggestion on a GOOD manual replacement?
I've been using the dewalt one from Home Depot and it's treated me well through the build so far

Ace Hdw sells a Stanley with a rotating nose. It allows for 180 and 90 degree handle position.

I hear a lot of talk about an air riveter: http://www.ffcars.com/forums/43-off-topic-discussions/225636-what-kind-rivet-gun-do-you-use.html
Waiting for my own to break before I pull that trigger though!

I'm no longer a fan of craftsman tools but their hand riveter is still a reliable option. Better yet, if you have a compressor, score yourself an air riveter. Your hand riveter will be collecting dust after you pull the trigger on a pneumatic tool.

Harbor Freight pneumatic rivet gun. Works great, runs with a relatively small compressor, and is super cheap... more so if you have a 20 or 25% off coupon from a magazine or mailer.

Just picked up one at Lowes with a rotating head, worked on the larger rivets.
Thanks for all the in-put
