What is a Rivet?

A rivet is a permanent fastener used to secure materials such as sheet metals together. They consist of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. Depending on the application, they can be used as replacements for welds, adhesives, screws, nuts and bolts.

Blind/POP Rivets

A Blind rivet can be used when you don’t have access to, or can’t see the other side of the item being riveted. Prior to the invention of the blind rivet, installation of a rivet typically required access to both sides of the assembly: a rivet hammer on one side and a bucking bar on the other side.
