Has anyone found a reasonably priced riveter that will hold up the the 3/16" SS rivets that are included in Yamaha tunnel closure kit?

I just destroyed the second tool. Have 9 more rivets to go.

Anyone have a commercial riveter in the Chicago area that I can get to blast them in?

Thanks,
 
I used a Harbor Freight cheapo air one, worked great- Then took it back afterwards ;)!

Thanks. I was wondering if one of those would have enough guts to do it or not. Usually cheap and pneumatic don't go together very well. Only one I could find otherwise was $125 which is crazy for 12 rivets.

Was considering the loaner tool program too... ;)!
 
I borrowed a large rivet gun from the Yamaha dealer but in the past I also borrowed one from a local body shop.
 
Got them in last night. Cheap($27 after 20% off coupon found online) Harbor Freight pneumatic riveter took care of them fine.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.
