Here is the $700.00 beast that takes rivets and mashes them down like they were grapes, with no effort on my part except to activate a trigger that drives a ram. This is a pneumatic squeezer that can be used to squeeze rivets that are within a few inches of an edge. It is a bit bulky and heavy, and you need to ensure that the work is securely clamped to immovable objects. You put different sets ior dyes n the ends of the black jaws depending on if you are riveting or dimpling the metal. The ram is adjustable and screws in or out to adjust for the proper length of travel. It delivers about 3000 psi,so you don't want to get your fingers caught in this when it activates. Note the air hose attached to the other end. My compressor is set to 90 PSI,so this tool takes that air pressure and bumps it up to 3000 psi in the blink of an eye - impressive!
