What's this tool?

Can someone tell me what this tool is? It came with my Avery kit circa 8 years ago.

I'm guessing it fits in a rivet gun and is used for ... riveting. A further guess is maybe back riveting in the C-Frame?

If that's correct, is there any advantage to the Cleveland back rivet conversion for the Avery C-Frame?

It looks like the riveter that goes in the C-Frame. Is there a 3/16" hole in the end that is not shown in the photo? If it has a hole that a dimple die fits in, then that is what it is.

IMHO, the Cleaveland conversion is worth the mod. It will allow you to do more with the C-Frame than you could otherwise.

Sorry, should have done the whole photo the first time, trying to spare you all the "Zoomba" advert in the background:

The one on the bottom is the one you are referring to. Just didn't know what the flat, no hole one on the top was.
 
With the hole: Put a rivet set in the end, whack with a mallet. You can use either a flat or universal set on top or bottom, and either "rivet" or "back rivet".

Without the hole: Flat or universal rivet set goes on the base, drive with rivet gun to "back rivet".
