I peen mine by hand all the time.

A hammer and a back up dolly are your friends.

I peened the last S4 chain and it held for 10,000 miles but the one on my M750 broke after 3400 miles and was replaced by a spring clip , the rivetting tools I have are a chinese $50  onewhich is crap and a German  $170 one which is also useless , a shop i saw in UK had hydraulic on but i guess thats expensive .

They call them "ball peen hammers" for a reason.  Block of steel (bucking bars) behind and smack away. Never had a problem!
