Unless you pay ?80 quid for top notch tool from a company like Frost(www.frost.co.uk) ypu will probably end up with the one sold at shows etc.It has a blue hammer finish and comes with 4 heads and a few rivets. Packaged in various supplier packs.
It works OK but dont squeeze the rivet any harder than necesary or you will snap the reverse thread mandrel. If you only have a couple to do, it is possible to use a bolt with a nut on it and a couple of washers in between the nut and the rivet. Then with two spanners hold the bolt and tighten the nut up to the rivet.

There is a very good Rivnut system sold by "Make ends meet".

I bought one at Westpoint last year but haven't tried it yet. It is very well made, spare parts are available and it will fit into awkward places that the types with hand levers won't! I have heard that the cheap tools don't last very long. Like most things you gets what you pays for!. Peter.
