They're very good just a squeeze of the trigger and that's it 1 squeeze 1 rivet done simples

Sounds like a plan
far better than squeezing multiple times just to find the stalk breaks off too soon!

I've only had 1 break off half way along the stalk on the whole truck so can't be faulted haha

I'd have done even better if I didn't have a tug of war comp on Saturday all day
only got wings bonnet and doors to paint now and then it's just wiring

Coming in your ears.
Remember to spend lots of time planning your loom and make provision for extra additions in future by adding extra switch space/blanks, extra fuse/relay space and extra wires in your loom
For instance running a length of 7 core cable from front to back of the car stopping at your dashboard fuse box and any other important places along the way is a good idea, that's a cheap easy neat way of leaving plenty of cores available for things to add in future without breaking into your loom again

I don't mind wiring I've rewiired a few of my mates trucks and getting things going
I'm moving / waterproofing the fuse box and adding extra fuse space, I've got a raptor dash with plenty of spare switches and things which helps
although I'm using switches for electric fans, sort lamps ect so they'll disappear soon I'm making new wiring to the headlights to be able to withstand 100W plus bulbs All joins are going to be soldered and heat shrinked and isolator switches are being added too so it's a big job

Good plan mate
Yeah regards headlights I need to rewire mine, recently found out that the wiring is not up to the job and with relays fitted the lights are considerably better!
Another example of "wish I'd known that when I was reworking my dash wiring"
Look in the FAQ section.

The longer and thinner the wires are the higher the resistance, and thus you get a voltage drop and a voltage drop will cause dimmer lights!
Except you won't need to worry, coz they will act like fuses and glow red then catch fire. So yu won't need lights.
