plastic rivet gun?

[jasonstrees]

Can anyone recommend me a good plastic stick rivet gun? I've been having to pull a lot of inner fender liners and reinstall them lately. Just wondering if there are any out there that are good for a decent price......... I really don't want to spend 100 dollars on one from the Cornwell truck. Thanks

Astro has a decent little kit with a small selection of plastic rivets. I have one, no complaints.

Bought years ago and only used maybe twice for a dozen rivets but nice quality.

I got this one a couple of years ago to install mud guards on my Jeep. I've used it a couple times since, has held up just fine...

I found this sideways one to be the most useful.

I use a harbor freight one like the tool trucks sell and a marson like the ones above. I grab whichever is closer. Also, a giant middle finger to Chrysler for using 25 of these on each wheel liner.

But it's quite satisfying popping off each one.

That is true, but then when I don't get ALL of em swept up and kneel down on one...lmao

OMFG that is so true. my father has a brand new dodge challenger (wouldnt been my pick but not my money lol) and he wanted me to install factory splash guards and there held on by those stupid things. now i have to buy a tool ill lever use and add a few more to that wheel liners. you know. just in case the other 30 of them cant hold it to the car LOL

Worked for Chrysler/jeep for a number of years. I have the matco plastic riveter kit, and it served me well--no complaints.

I have been using one like this for about 20 years. And I work at a chrysler dealer so it gets a lot of use

I have the Marson and the squeeze type hf one. Would recommend both. And I was a bodyman so the hf has been well used, actually go for it first.

 

[southalabama]

I've got the marson. Used it once on Jeep Grand Cherokee.

On this topic, what are some good rivets in smaller sizes? I'm still working my way through an assortment I bought but they're no good. The points are way bigger than the body so when you drill for the body diameter they won't go through, and they don't grab tight at all. Maybe I'm hoping for too much from a plastic rivet.

....and it has a life time warranty. Love mine, works great. I paid $11

You have to use the correct diameter and length rivets for the application. I buy from here : http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/

I have a marson, works good.

I have a HF one and it works good. I work at a Chrysler dealer so it gets used often

 

[MattVette89]

I have the Harbor Freight version and it works great. I don't think the included plastic rivets are the best, but they seem to work ok. When I used them side by side with some factory supplied ones, they weren't as good in comparison.

Once they run out, I'll get this kit (as suggested by my friend who has a body shop):
