you can use a hammer and rivet setting punch. rivet setting punches are available a most industrial supply retailers.

you can also use a $15 air chisel from harbor freigt...throttled back to it's slowest or near slowest setting.

the included chisel tool can be cut off at the shank and a hemisphere milled/lathe turned into the shank to form a setting tool.
