I find a nut rivet gun a really handy tool at work, but cant seem so find a decent one, all the ones I come across are £35 wa chung ho amazon specials, they look decent and work for a while but the mandrels are always made from poor quality metal and let go when you put them under the extra strain of stainless nut rivets.
Does anyone make a decent nut rivet gun set?

Go to https://www.rivetwise.co.uk/products/index.asp?sec... and have a look, prices get a bit wild but it's a starting point for brands and models that might be decent.

Superb, dont know why that didnt show up on my googling, thanks. PNT310 inbound. Its only around the same price as the 3 chinesium ones I have destroyed over the last few years but looks a bit more sturdy.
Breaking a tool during a job then having to go back to site costs a lot more than buying decent tools in my experience.
