I have been looking for a rivet gun mostly pneumatic and found one on ebay but I don't know how long it would last. I have had 2 from Harbor Freight that didn't last very long. Has anyone used one like this

I'd say that the one on ebay wouldn't last any longer than the one from HF. Actually, it's probably the same as the one from HF.

You'll have better luck looking for a rivet puller, not a rivet gun, I think.

Yeah, I know hong kong louis calls the rivet puller a rivet gun, but I think the more name brands will call it a puller.

A good pneumatic rivet gun is gonna run you a couple hundred bucks easy

Exactly. This is one of those cases where you get what you pay for comes into play. Depends on your needs. We use Emhart/POP at my company. Very durable but very $$.
