I have done hundreds of carrier 3/8 rivets, and the key to success is plenty of heat and a good rivet gun. I unknowingly bought a 9X gun with the .498 shank at a farm auction. I noticed the difference right away when I used it, and it wasn't until I looked carefully at the markings that it made sense. It will do 1/4 or 5/16 rivets cold, but you still have to heat the 3/8.

I mailed it East a few weeks ago and have not heard back as to how it has performed.
