Then buy a pneumatic riveter, I've spent most of the day Riveting and it's killing me, my wrist is aching.
I ignored peoples advice and got a manual one but that was a mistake, If i weren't nearly finished I would be buying a pneumatic riveter myself
And it friggin hurts when you get you skin trapped inbetween

Small compressor reliability ? I am not sure but I have had a £50 job from Lidle or Aldi, can not remember which. Been using it now most weeks for 5 or more years. Get one with the 50 litre tank if your budget allows and do regular oil changes. Have used mine in my workshop as general blow gun for the mill and lathe also waxoiled chassis three times and tyre work so not to bad.

I sprayed the 90 with a Lidl jobby, they are great bits of kit for the money.
Only problem is the size of the tank, but that can be increased if you get creative with a big calor gas can
Wish I'd bought an air riveter at the beginning of the rebuild!
I have 3 air rivet guns - they are a god send - although I do a hell of a lot of riveting for my business constructing stuff.
Machine mart do an air riveter for about £50 and another for about £1200 - even speaking to the guy in store we couldn't work out how a £1200 riveter could be 24 times better than a £50 one.

was looking at lidl`s compressors a few weeks ago, they done 2,
1 was a single cylinder the other was a twin,
prices were (roughly) £120 and £160.
but looked nice bits of kit.
I used to spray cars and light vans with oil based paint using a "jumbo air"
a small spray unit with no tank, but done a great job blowing oil paint mixed with white spirit or bit of petrol/both at times, but this was back in the 1980`s
still got the jumbo air but use it for tyres and shutz gun/ wax oil stuff.
got a much bigger compressor plus tank but thats seen better days now, as its pressurising the oil sump - no good..
wish I bought one of them Lidl ones now...

I use a set of long arm riveters so not to bad. But a air riveter sounds so much easier
