Pop Riveter

Product Details:

A revolutionary fastener, the blind rivet is so named because it can be installed when you don’t have access to—or can’t see—the back side of the item being riveted. Prior to the invention of the blind rivet, the use of solid rivets and bolts meant that you needed access to both sides of a project in order to use a rivet hammer on one side and a bucking bar on the other. This complicated process made countless projects with a “blind” side impossible to complete.
Comprised of a rivet and an integrated mandrel, blind rivets are installed in a tight hole that passes through whatever material you’re riveting. A riveter is then used to pull the mandrel back while holding the rivet in place. As the mandrel is pulled back, it deforms the rivet by pushing the sides outward until the mandrel snaps. This is what forms the expanded back side of the rivet, ultimately holding the materials together.Usage - automobiles, appliances, HVAC systems, overhead doors, or lighting.

Commonly used to join aluminum alloys together, because aluminum is difficult to solder. Riveting provides neatness and strength, while also allowing for a lighter weight in an aircraft, this type of rivet is used due to its efficiency and ease of use. Rivets are used because they are a quick and easy way to join two pieces of material together, and do not require threading making them ideal for use with thin metals and other thin application surfaces. Blind rivets require access to the installation surface from only one side, making them easy to install with the use of a rivet gun or hand riveter.

Aluminum blind rivets are commonly used in the automotive, aerospace, boating and metal fabrication industries due to the high strength-to-weight ratio of the metal. Aluminum Rivets in this selection feature an all aluminum design meaning that both the hat and mandrel of the rivet are made of aluminum unless designated otherwise.

Aluminum rivets are used for a variety of reasons besides weight as well. Aluminum as an alloy forms its own protective coating making it resistant to atmospheric corrosion and is generally less expensive than stainless steel fasteners of the same type. Aluminum is not magnetic, accepts paint well, and is non-staining. It can also be used for many electrical applications due to its high levels of conductivity. We recommend only using aluminum with aluminum to help prevent galvanic corrosion.

On an all aluminum blind rivet, both the hat and mandrel of the rivet have all of these qualities making these fasteners a versatile, durable, lightweight and inexpensive solution.
