Straight from Scott’s Brain
RE: AD-41H rivet installation
In cases where the proper nose piece isn’t available for the tool and you don’t have a huge number to do, make a small tool with a scrap of .063 thick aluminum. Use a drill index to drill a hole, just barely bigger than the diameter of the mandrel.
Use it as a spacer between the head of the rivet and the tool by first, slipping it over the stem before inserting the rivet in the tool.
Stems getting jammed in the tool is related to the tool not being properly adjusted.
The manual that usually comes with them explains what to do.
