I currently use an air rivet gun, but, thinking about getting a battery operated one instead, having to have the compressor on and the hose to the gun is a bit excessive in my opinion, you seem to be able to get a good battery rivet gun for £400 - £500 which would be worth it. (I also get fed up with the hose all the time, trip over it, it pulls the gun off the bench, etc.)

We've got one at work and it's excellent even got a box to collect all the centre pins. I'll check the make next time I'm at the yard if you like.don't know how much it was though I'm afraid.

I'm just about to go on holiday for a week, but, i'll be getting one when i return - can feedback on how they compare to compressed air units

(Incidently, if anyone wants an air powered rivet gun i have 3...)
