    I have a king tony pop rivet gun here. it is extreamily hard to do pop riveting with it. you have the squeeze the **** out of it a few times to get it to rivet. are they all like this or is there something wrong with mine. it nearly takes the hand off me and you would need a break after doing about 3 rivets as your hand would be sore from pressing it.

    Yes they are the only job. A joy to use. A few hundred rivets not a bother.

    +1 for the lazy tongs pop riveter. No comparison between the two. Riveting a very easy job with those!

    Have managed to avoid that one so far! But I have pinched the side of my index finger several times using the other type!
