Aircraft Riveting: Cordless Electric Blind Riveting Tool

From a recent Zenith Aircraft hands-on kit building workshop, here's a closer look at an electric cordless blind riveting tool (Milwaukee M12 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Rivet Tool).
Workshop participant Anthony, along with his ten year old daughter Kalista, brought his own riveter to rivet the rudder kit assembly together.

I did not need to have machined heads. I bought the M12 for another project. It used to be that if you sent the heads to Zenith that they would machine them for you.

I have one of these. What did you use to modify the heads that came with it? The ones I have from zenith don’t thread into mine

I have one. Works very well. Used a round burr to modify the sets to make the dome heads.

I really like the concave machined head. Did that come with the tool, or did you purchase that separately?  Thanks
