I was gifted recently with the Boeing Anti-Slip rivet set with the polyurethane ring. It seems to be the polyurethane stands proud of the face and wondering o how it would set a rivet nice and flush. Is it worth a shot or continue on with the norm?
I think some have has success by trimming down the rubber ring closer to flush.. maybe try the 3m wheel to polish it down..
I think that's with the swivel type with the big red rubber ring. I think the OP is talking about these:

I have the swivel set bought from Avery 20+ years ago. I love it. It's done two RVs and allowed my wife to handle the gun where I needed a second pair of hands.
I think the swivel one, with the big rubber ring is completely unusable. I threw mine away in disgust.
I have one that looks like the one in your picture. It works great for me. No mods required!
