Using my old Talco rivet gun the other day and finding the rivets jamming, especially annoying when working between the axle and body couldn't finish the rivet and could'nt take the gun off fortunatly the last one.
Have seen a review which recomends the Halfords and draper models quite fancy one with a 360 head to get in tight spots.

What do the piston head collective think is best ?

Oops! just noticed the spelling in the title read

I've got three of them depending on what I'm doing, and what I can find to hand (one of them always disappears).

The best one is an air-powered one that makes light work of everything I've thrown at it - and heartily recommended if you've got a compressor and/or a lot of rivets to do; for small jobs, it's normally an old Halfords' one. But it's not a 360 degree one.

(My next car, I'll get an air-powered rivnut gun).
