Re: Rivet tools--what's out there today?

Check out McMaster part #98716A100 . It's a tool you chuck up in a portable drill, and uses the drill to pull the rivet mandrels. I found it occupies a pretty neat niche of needing a powered way to install a lot of rivets, but not wanting to invest in the expense of air powered tools (or, like me, making field service calls). It's not as fast as air tools, but it's still pretty quick and uses any normal electric drill with a chuck. Sure beats doing a lot of them by hand.
