I recall a while ago reading a user question on this topic, and am just getting around to adding my two cents worth.

Rivets using plain stems cut just "long" of the "clench washer", then peened round to assure a permanent "set" can be challenging.  The length above the washer is critical, and MOST easily attained with a compound diagonal cutter (colloquially a "compound dike")

Using a "compound diagonal cutter" for these little wonders has been the only time-after-time reliable means I've found of quickly and accurately getting the post clipped off at the correct place without negative effect on my/your carpel tunnel.  Got my most recent pair form Walmart for about $9.50. Amazon's got a DeWalt version for about $17.00,

Just trying to help.  Sorry about the delay in posting.
