In that last picture in the link, the head of the rivet don't look so good. It could be just the lighting though.

Thank you everyone for the input and experience sharing... It brings out more creative ways.

As noted on the item description, this device was not intended for X-metal (...Be noted that this device is for general processing equipment for the glasses, it is not specific tool for X-metal nose bridge tuning...).

But one day we got a pin stuck on one of our frames and it just happened we got this nice device and try it out and it works. And that is how we have started selling this device, so many people can experience it, or play with it on their X-metal.

Original purpose from manufacturer is like the picture attached:

Tip A, Base B, C & D (But we use the opposite - the down side up)

B & C with small hole to retrieve broken screw/pin (screw from normal glasses are much smaller than X-metal pin/screw) which was pressed from the top

D is also used to press, both direction press from top and bottom.

So...I decided to come up with a handmade tool that will help to push down the rivets evenly and here's what I managed to fashion out using this ..

1. Get an Allen Key Bolt.
2. Saw off the screw tip section.
3. Use filing tool to smoothen the base and bevel the edge.

Hope that fellow users will find this useful. The helpful tip of using hand sanitizer to prep the pressing of rivets by @kayana photography bali is definitely recommended.
