Get an air one if all possible. Used to hang bodies on race cars. Used a hand one hand for a couple years. Then got a air one. Way better and faster. I had a MAC tools brand. Don't recall the price tho.

Get a two hand rivet gun. Those $20 ones they sell are not worth it IMO. I broke two already. Here is the picture of the one I currently have (same style) and I think it is a lot easier.

i agree on this. air riveters set the rivets alot better as well. i wouldnt dare hang a body agian with a hand riveter
I got a harbor freight one this yr and have put on a tunnel and a lent to a bud who installed a set of no snos and a tunnel reinforcement kit still working great all for 40 bucks.I would have never attempted with a hand rivet gun.and all the rivets were stainless and those are a bitch with a hand rivet

I finally broke down and got a HF 1 also. It is 1 of my favorite tools. Some of the best money I ever spent. Like "deerhunter" said it sets them really well.

I needed to pull steel pop rivits and broke two small hand guns. I purchesed this one and it worked great. I also used it to install 500 pop rivits in my clam shell trailer
The price is only a little bit more than a hevy duty manual one and it fits into small areas the back cap is removable
