The thing about a squeezer is that if everything isn't perfectly aligned you will probably end up with rivets that are mushed over to one side (i.e. the upset head is not concentric to the hole). With a hammer you can direct the flow of upset better.
You would need a big mass on the back side and big blows to start.
