My brother and I have been using a hand squeezer. We have a pneumatic squeezer but have not yet bought a compressor. (Turns out compressors that can spray Stewart Systems primer well are big and expensive.) Anyway, we discovered that a piece of plastic cut off a storage bin or trash can, with about a 6 mm circle cut out, is very helpful for preventing accidental dings caused by the rivet squeezer. Put the rivet in the hole, cover with the plastic so the pin comes through the cut out, and squeeze. When the rivet pops, and the squeezer bounces, it will bounce on the plastic, spreading the force of the impact. No ding.
