   The closest I came to making a successful tubular rivet set was a   
   screw-together setting tool for 3/8" brass grommets, which I could use on a   
   ladder for repairs to hanging tarps, such as aligning the grommets on old   
   and new ones.

   I've used my Roper #5 Jr clone with a shop made punch and die, to dimple for   
   countersunk rivets. They need to be hardened so they don't expand and jam.
