Rivet Gun reccomendations

[padronanniversary]

What would you guys recommend in terms of the best rivet gun to purchase ?

Mainly just doing smaller rivets, and plastic ones on panels.

A nice little kit would be nice.


Thanks in advance

I have a Marson and a Rivedrill. Both seem to work fine for me. I don't use them very much though.

If you're working with solid aluminum rivets on plastic panels I recommend a 2X. Brand isn't a big issue. Dotco,APT,Cleco,etc.... are all good.

Are you talking blind rivets (POP rivets), or solid rivets?
