I may need a hand riveter to finish some things on my boat restore. There are several kinds of riveters that I have found. What do you recommend I get for attaching aluminum rubrails with flexible inserts and other similar items?

Get a MAC or a Snap-on with a rotating head.

Trust me you can position the gun for various positions. Then you can get those tough ones in.

There always seems to be a position that the rotating head comes in handy.

Borrow one. Most people buy them for a project and never use them again.

LOL
