I wasn't experienced on the first lower I built, I read, read some more, watched some videos, got the proper tools, took my time and it all went fine. Now 30+ lowers later I have never used a clamp, vise grips, channel locks, etc. and I have never had a issue installing a roll pin with the proper punch.
Basically you're implying that if you are unexperienced it's ok to cob it. If it was a better method or even close to being an equally as good method there would be a professional somewhere using a c clamp to install a roll pin - it makes me laugh when I type it. I will say it again, it's your lower, install the roll pins with an electric toothbrush if you like. Just realize that the professionals have been doing it with a hammer and punch for 40+ years so there must be something to it. Good luck.
