I am running into several cases where I have to install a pop rivet quite close to a side wall/rib/bracket and my standard pop rivet squeezer nose is too big to get squarely over the rivet. The result is poorly seated rivets that I have to drill out (that is a problem in itself) and try again with less than satisfactory results.

There must be a better way such as a tool with a smaller nose, a spacer between rivet and nose, etc. Help!
