We used a metabo one in my old work place which was able to shoot larger rivets (6mm))
This one shoots 4.8, in my new work place they have them not as good a quality as the metabo but they shoot hundred plus a day and have done for months, it's smaller and will get into tighter places, will shoot maybe 200 4mm rivets on single charge 2ah battery collects the Mandrels much easier on the hands, plus my youngest can use it
Don't have to listen to the noise of a compressor, nor have to trail a Lead

Glad you like it, really pleased with mine. When you are doing gates or panels its really handy, and a saver on the arms. I resisted buying it but gave in because I have muscle problems so arms get tired quickly. I wish I'd bought it years ago, muscle probs or not - real game changer

Spent enough time with one of those to last me a lifetime

I only dabble. An old hand at work taught me quite a few bits and bobs but he retired this year. It's very satisfying and a skill.
As deaf as a post like all of the old hands though.
It's not the noise of the compressor you'd be worrying about.
