I have had a gutfull of cheap chinese Rivet guns so I went out a bought a $70 Lobster branded one which I am still not happy with. Ok with small rivets but 5/32 rivet I had 3 pulls before snapping rivet with 2 hands. I did some research and found a Malco 2N1 which looks quite good and a lot of reviews say one handed operation. Anyone here got one and how do you find it?

I found it on Amazon but don't have any experience with it.

I've used lots of different guns including the one Halifaxhops showed which is a two handed one unless you put it under your arm to squeeze it together. I've done That. That one also does have the leverage you need for larger steel pop rivets. I always use aluminum pop rivets if possible. They snap pretty easy with most any gun. My hands don't work too well Any more so yeah, I try to stick with aluminum. Steve
