Close, cept the bit that goes into the air hammer has a hollow to match the
rivet head. The bucking bar is flat. The action of the hammer doesn't
directly crown the rivet. It sets up a vibration and the hand held force on
the bucking bar flattens the back side.
This si similar to removing a dent from a car using a hammer and dolley.
Dolley goes behind the dent, then you hit the dent with the hammer. When
done right, the dolley is actually what is knocking out the dent.
Yes, it's not April 1, and I am not pulling your leg.
