Review Parkside Rivet Gun

Paddy's DIY - Review - Parkside Rivet Gun
I recently used a DeWalt 18v rivet gun, and i was blown away by how quick it was. I have been using a manual rivet gun since i started working with my family business. It is all i have ever know. I have tried countless manual rivet guns, and i found the best one there is. The Gesipa Flipper. It is an absolutely fantastic rivet tool. The quickest and best rivet gun i have ever used. It is made by a company called Gesipa. It is extremely quick compared to other manual rivet tools, as it has a ratchet action. The only down side for me is to do with the line of work i am in. I would have to replace hardware on aluminum windows, which are all riveted. I would have to hold the window sash with one hand and operate the rivet gun with the other. It can be a real pain if I'm honest.
In the past i have looked into cordless rivet guns (particularly the Gesipa ones) but they were extremely expensive. I have also tried the rivet attachments that clamp onto a cordless drill. They were a waste of time and money. I had given up on searching for a replacement for my Gesipa Flipper, until i tried that DeWalt rivet gun. But the price tag was still too expensive for me. The same for the Milwaukee rivet gun. Either the DeWalt or Milwaukee would be totally fine for someone who who is using it all the time. But for me, I wouldn't be using it that regularly to justify spending that kind of money on it.
Then i happened to see the Parkside Rivet Gun show up in the specials in Lidl. I saw the price tag, and i decided that i was going to give it a try. Even if it was half as good as the DeWalt Rivet Gun, it would save me a huge amount of time and effort.
So check out my review to see what i thought of it. Would it knock my beloved Gesipa Flipper off it's throne???

Never seen this in Lidl but looks a decent bit of kit especially if you buy the 4Ah battery setup

Super surprised by how good it is. 4 ah battery was €40. I'm buying more batteries and another riveter for my second van
