Nah doesn’t have to be air just limited access where I need to get and pretty big rivets to pop I’ll have a look at some of those drill adapters as they could be an option looked at the Milwaukee cordless option but wowee they are pricy lol. I’ll chase kennards again work has an account and they are generally pretty helpful.

Hey Lukey, don't waste your money on the drill adaptor ones, they are useless i brought one a few years ago and ended up throwing it away. I bit the bullet and got an air riveter from e-bay for around $75 best thing i did. Easy to use and pulls big rivets. I was struggling with hand riveters due to lack of hand strength these days
Cheers

I had the oil leak out of my Chinese special years ago while I was building my plane (yes, sit in and fly with a passenger). I had laid it on it's side. Refilled with oil and don't lay on it's side and it is still going strong. Over 20,000 rivets.
