Not too difficult to make a tool using simple hand tools and a bit of effort,
This is the one I made years ago from a block of scrap and a bolt.

The thread is offset so you can get close but still has enough ‘beef’ to spread the end of the rivet. I use the same tool with a different bolt with a small diameter at the end to remove them. Still put the towel on the tank though!
