Question Non-pneumatic alligator squeezer -- does it exist?

I've had quite a few spots lately where an alligator squeezer would have come in handy. Thinking about getting one, but they're quite expensive, even used, for just a few rivets... The thing is, I really don't need it to be a pneumatic squeezer, I'm quite happy to use monkey power (me being the monkey). I just need the alligator configuration for access into some tight spots. So here's the question:

Is there such a thing as a non-pneumatic alligator squeezer?

Or better yet, is there such a thing as a 90 degree hand squeezer that uses standard squeezer yokes? Basically a standard hand squeezer, but with the handles oriented at 90 degrees away from their normal orientation relative to the yoke?

I've never seen these, so I'm guessing the answer is no. But I thought I'd ask.

I've never heard of a hand operated alligator squeezer, or one cranked 90 degrees. But call Bob Avery on 1-800-OK-AVERY, if anyone knows, he will.
