I need to set a few 6mm or 1/4in pop rivets. The only cheap tools with this sort of capacity seem to be the lazy tong variety. I've never tried using them. Basic question is,do they actually work?

If you're close enough to Portsmouth and don't get on with the lazy tongs style.. you're still welcome to try this one out. I liked the fact that mandrels are caught with this one and there is no slipping towards the work as the mandrel is snapped.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, it was what might happen to the gun (and me too for that matter) when the mandrel snapped that was concerning me a little.
