Does anyone have any advice on a rivet gun or tool that can handle stainless steel rivets? I have tried a few regular ($20-$30 hardware store) models that just don't have the muscle to install a stainless steel rivet. I don't mind paying more for something that will work.

You need a wishbone style rivetter. They are about the same price as the gun style. Here is one from Harbor Freight http://www.harborfreight.…ection-bottle-66422.html
