Rivet Gun for Casita?

Has anyone used this gun from Harbor?

Heavy Duty 17-1/2" Hand Riveter With Collection Bottle

To be VERY honest I have not but it really looks nice. I did buy their other fixed head at a right angle and the air propelled one. This actually looks very versitile and with the 20% coupon could work out. I will check it out the next time I go there, but really never noticed it before. I like it has a capture bottle and head storage and looks like a leverage mechanism. The others there are straight grip and sometimes you have to muscle that last 1/8 inch to get it to pop. Thanks. I do notice that every time I go in there they are out of aluminum rivets.

I have used one like it from Princess Auto. It works OK. Had to adjust it, to grab the rivet shaft but other than that no problems. A good feature of the design is when you are installing a rivet, you are pushing the rivet into the material for a tight fit, unlike the single hand squeeze ones.

I'll try to find the stuff locally.

I've used Casita and spoke to Victor.....no problems. Here's another place you might consider checking with......Little House Customs

Just bought it yesterday from Harbor Freight after seeing your comment and it is nice. That sucker is HUGE.

Yeh, but you get Real Nice Leverage from the length. I'm happy with mine, though I will probably get a little gun for the small stuff.
