Looking for recommendations on a decent one that won’t break the bank. It isn’t for everyday use but I want it to work correctly.

I have never seen a cheap one, plus they only do the size they are built for.
there are places that rent them.
If I just need a few done, I just have the dealer do them.rabbiporkchop and bigguns Thank this. -
For starters let me give up that the Red Pistol grip air/hydraulic Huck riveter is the slowest most unproductive piece of garbage out there. If someone gave me a brand new one I would throw it in the garbage. From hanging up to the worthlessly slow pull its as bad as it gets. I'd rather use a hand riveter.
I have had good luck using this-
SILVER EAGLE 1/4" HEAVY-DUTY RIVETER SE214 | Matco Tools
Pulls monobolts fast and one right after the other. Keep the tool and tip lightly oiled and I have pulled hundreds of them without an issue in the same day. Plus it comes with extra pulling collets if they wear out.
I suppose there are cheaper versions or other brands of this style riveter you could try. But I will vouch for this one.

If you find one for less money I'm sure there's a reason it's cheaper -
