Ok I have like 5 diffrent rivet pullers 3 Pop rivet pullers and an air powered Cherry max puller.
NONE of them pull these Dang plastic POP rivets at all :censwhat are you guys useing?
Im ready to start using aircraft stuff and forgetting all about this cheap Chinese junk
not sure exactly what type of rivets your referring to but the plastic rivets like the ones on chryslers? i use an inexpensive tile nibbler and cut them off. the tile nibbler also cuts the aluminum ones off too if you can access the head slightly. that or drill them out. rivets are a pain to remove but a life saver for installations

I used to use one like that, and it seems to be the most common one. The trouble I had with it is that sometimes they would jam (and it was a b*tch to un jam), and they made it hard to do rivets in wheel wells due to clearance.
This is what I have now:
