Mr Lynn... may be time to look into some torque handling levers and long handled pliers and whatnot. For example you can use a band wrench to hold the drill head in one direction while your drill goes in the other direction..
This. I'd use a pipe wrench: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HLTR7K/ref=asc_df_B004HLTR7K5135548/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395033&creativeASIN=B004HLTR7K&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167125219398&hvpos=1o5&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8753675002485838732&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9057463&hvtargid=pla-308882206963

The larger nut just above the collar in the original tool (not the smaller nut holding the rivet) appears to be designed to be grabbed by a box wrench to prevent this problem.
