I've bought one like this and adapted the anvil by replacing it with a large bolt (!) and it works very well, perfectly spread track rivets

Re: Track riveting tool
For the few riveted sleepers I've used I found parallel jaw pliers work just fine. Put the rivet in the sleeper, put both in the pliers, squeeze. All done. Now, if I were building the whole layout with soldered track I might want a different approach. But for what I was doing this worked fine.
