You dont have to do the heading with a tool, you could simply hammer it flat and have a flat head rivet. I like the dome shaped rivets so i shape the heads with a header as step two. the size of the head comes, anywhere from about 1 1/2 to 2 and a bit, times the diam of the material, depending on how bulky you want the head. ( about 1.5 times suits me say 8mm rod, upset 16-18mm for the head)
