It may be an old wife's tale, but I was told as a child not to hit two hammers together as one might explode.
I'm not sure how it happened, a friend of mine had to have a piece of hammer head removed from his arm when he was an apprentice.

Thank you for the explanation.

Ian showed me a hammer that he'd paid a lot of money for. I think it's called a dead blow hammer. Maybe that could be the type to use?....Ian?

You are surely right about the exploding hammer. I heared about that too and i guess we should keep this definitely in mind.

We used some tools from the aircraft-company my colleague works in so those tools and the hammer were designed to use it in this manner.

I don't think you'd be able to close a rivet with a dead blow hammer Ron, as they are normally plastic.
Though I think you can also buy hard faced ones.
