Looking for a supplier of rivnuts and the requisite tools.

Am looking for cordless or pneumatic tools, not the simple manual ones.

Cannot find anyone in ireland doing the tools, the pop rivets are easily enough got, as are the manual tools no joy yet with the rivnuts or the tools.
Most UK companies that do them wont ship here.

Thanks

Thanks thunderoad: the diy idea is nice as if one had a cordless drill with torque settings then it would be the business

Mg: many thanks: you were right on all counts: thanks: they are decent folks but the Italian kit is v expensive:
555 euro plus vat for the cordless or air versions of the pop riveters and rivnut machines..
