Hey, that's exactly the problem I had when I first started...the same exact squeezer, too. I ended up getting one that looks like a Tatco...maybe it is, I don't recall, but it was much better quality.
I think you don't need the top of the line squeezer...I didn't. But no matter how good or bad the squeezer is, I always managed to get clubbed rivets when squeezing with my left hand. The right hand came out perfect. Weirdest thing, but I think it's because I couldn't keep it perfectly lined up while squeezing the handles.
Lesson here is that just about any squeezer will work fine, and it has more to do with technique. Actually, if you search on all the posts I've ever made, the first several were about this exact subject. Not sure if there pictures are still there...but they look like your typical clubbed over rivets.
