tool but I put it in a lathe and reworked it anyway before I was happy
with the results. I do tend to be a bit fussy... Where possible I much
prefer a set of 120 degree squeezer dies in a modified pair of vice-grip
pliers.
I really like those nutplates with countersunk rivet holes, the 1097
reduced head size rivets, and the steel cherry nutplate pop rivets, all
of which are 100 degree x 3/32. The solid 1097's buck just fine with a
hammer or they squeeze nicely with a welding clamp.

At one time I think 120 degree puller dimplers were available but can't
now be found.
Wicks has the 120 degree microstop cutters as part ATS-120-40 for 3/32"
pulled rivets.
Cleaveland has 120 degree dimple dies for 1/8" pulled rivets as part
DIECS4-4.
Aircraft Spruce and Wicks both claim their 3/32" pull dimplers will work
for both bucked and pulled rivets.
Most places you can squeeze AD426 3/32" solid rivets where needed.
Those impossible places are mostly nut plates and the exact dimple angle
is not critical in my opinion.
While I'm at it Just Plane Hardware (formerly Freeman Aviation) has
hardware such as countersunk nutplates that I have trouble finding
elsewhere.
