If a chisel isn't working it's either too short of a stroke, too little air pressure, too dull a chisel or a combination of the three. A decent medium stroke chisel with 120 PSI behind it and a sharp chisel will knock a rivet head off in seconds. If you still have trouble drill the heads first then chisel and punch.
