Rivet Gun Recommendations
I just bought a set of GM splash guards for my 2LT convertible, and had them custom-painted to match, since GM didn't offer the set painted in Sharkskin Metallic.
The rear pair looks pretty easy to install... 3 existing bolts. However the front pair installs with some pop rivets. I think I can do it, but I was hoping someone would recommend a decent yet affordable rivet gun to get the job done. I don't want DeWalt or Milwaukee because I will probably never use the tool again. Thanks in advance for any help/info! |

this isnt the exact one I bought because its not available anymore but looks to be about the same one under a different name.
https://www.amazon.com/Anesty-Alumin...e%2C78&sr=1-84 I did my side skirts with it with no issues so that was like 30+ rivets

I picked up a cheap one from Harbor Freight when putting on my side skirts and rock guards. Don't remember if it was the $5.00 one or the $10.00 one, but I know I didn't pay more than that. I didn't want to pay more than that for something I'd probably never use again. Worked fine for me with no issues.

Harbor Freight only wins if you have one close by. otherwise, amazon for the free shipping and free rivets. |

A good'ol Craftsman rivet gun worked great installing my OEM splash guards. Glad I borrowed it, because I don't think I will ever need one again LOL

I bought a cheap one and it has worked well. Last used it for my dive planes. My son used it when he was 9 or 10 to help install my wickerbill
