I used a regular center punch on mine. I think I peened it 3-4 times.

It could be the surface your working on. Try laying it on a vise or anvil
Something solid

Had my son make mine up ... he used some kind of adhesive from the boating construction industry before he center punched them around the circumference. Rod is going to break before the joint fails. He has a bunch of good stuff for putting things together.
