Find a link for it, Martin, because I want one too!

Richard, I got mine from a company called Princess Auto,

www.princessauto.ca

If you go to their site you can download a PDF of their catalogue, or a
portion thereof, you want the hand tools section, Page 288 item "D",
"21" long handled riveter @$54.99", thats Canadian, so your price should
be less. I don't know if they ship international, but I've getting stuff
in the mail from them for more than 20 years.

Cheers
Martin
