Has anyone used these rivet caps? https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/snapsocriv.php

I am trying the avoid the rivet set from dancing off and gouging the rivet when riveting by myself with one hand on the gun and the other hand with the bucking bar. I am usually masking taping the rivet head and that helps some but not always.
I was thinking of fitting a rubber tube to the set to hold it on the skin around the rivet head then looked at these caps.
