I wouldn't buy a cheap rivetter. I'd use a G clamp and an 8mm spanner to put a spring clip on it and ride it to someone with the proper tool.

i think i am going to buy a proper one tbh as i want to do all chain changes myself. I am not paying one of the dealers to look at it for 90 minutes scratch there **** change it in 10 minutes and charge me £100 for the privilege!!!

plus at least i know it will be done correctly.

OK, I would search for a post from spanner man about which rivetter to get.

I bought one off ebay for about £37 plenty of different bits for different sized chains and it wasn't a Micky mouse type one.

Peened the rivet over good and proper
