I agree. There is a major difference between a manual and a pneumatic riveter. On my school's OCCRA robot, we used a lot of rivets (since welding wasn't allowed). We didn't use small ones, though; we used 1/8th inch. We needed to pump our manual rivet gun several times to get it to snap. Then one day we lost it and our mentor told us that we had a pneumatic one. It worked with one trigger pull. Michaelabick is right. Once you see the difference, you'll never use a manual riveter again.
