Got a motrax one. Not very good at all. And only does o-ring which is a bit cr*p.

Yeah, It's the one on my GS500 that I replaced when I refurbed it. Easy job really as the riveter I've got has a small mandrel that forms a nice domed finish when you torque it up

Don't see the point myself- for the price of a decent tool, I can pay my dealer to rivet up 10 chains- so I get a split link and ride it there. If I need to break one, I use my grinder.

Yes, but the 'chiselling crooks' down here in the south would want you to book it in and cough up for an hour in the workshop, at frankly outrageous rates, to be seen to by one of their monkeys...
