A generic hand riveter from the local hardware store will work fine. It's
even reasonable to do a C3-size antenna for "expedition/FD" style operation,
although for a weekend operation, I leave out some of the rivets to save
both on putting them in and drilling them out again. And I admit I don't
break the antenna down all the way.

But... that said, do any of you on the reflector know of a reasonably priced
power riveter? Ideally a rechargeable electric riveter would be great, but a
small pneumatic one would be cool, tool.

Well, I let my fingers do the walking and I have a Tango 34 on the way.
 Well, at least ordered even though it's not yet sent.)   Never having had a
Force 12 antenna before, I forgot to ask about a rivet tool.  Any
recommendations?
