I assume you are refering to the Olympic shavers that attach to drills. No used but here are new ones at airstream dreams. They turn up on ebay from time to time. Also links to ebay auctions for the pneumatic shavers. These work the best if you have a compressor.

I did some lookin' too and the Olympic Rivit shavers are unique. The aircraft tools and rivit shavers that I ran into are all geared toward shaving flush rivits and not crowned rivits like the Olympics. I finally bought several "Micro stops" at the Boeing Surplus Store (3 for 12 bucks) and a carbide flush shaver bit from The Yard (www.yardstrore.com) for about 15 bucks. You can also get the micro stops from the The Yard in the 20/25 buck range.

What this setup does is NOT the same as the $180 more or less Olympic Shaver that leaves a dome shape. What it DOES do at $40 is let you set the microstop so that you just knock off the center of the rivit so that the the "pull" blends with the rivit.

Get a Yard catalog to learn about less expensive flush shaving options. Get an Olympic shaver if you want the real thing.

I have not seen one first hand, but I imagin there are different type cutter heads to shape different shape rivits? Look around on the web. The Oly tool is nice but very expensive. Even the one on ebay went for 80-90 bucks.
