[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 384444, member: 13599"] I agree - some brands are a PAIN to snap. I looked at the Gesipa brand on e-bay and the price is okay. Their tools on the other hand are out of sight on price !! They also make plastic pop rivets (didn't know there was such a thing). When I was in the Navy a long time ago, I worked around the aircraft repair facility and at the end of the day, all the rivet mandrels were swept up and tossed in the trash. Along with good rivets that were dropped. Over a two year period, I was able to collect a 5 gallon bucket full of assorted aircraft grade aluminum and stainless pop rivets. Still have half of it left. most are 3/16" in different lengths. the 1/4" are gone, so now I have to buy them. But they all pop rather quickly and very clean. I just wish I knew the brand name.
