Hit the tail as 'square' to the shaft as you can ...    Also works best with 2 people and wear hearing protection. But I'm sure others might have success doing it the opposite way. Regardless, you need a much heavier buck than when doing it with pneumatic tools, so that all of the transmitted force squishes the rivet tail.</blockquote>
