The Breakstem selection ranges from standard to structural multi-grip, blind rivets. Key attributes include good clamp and vibration resistance, high shear and tensile strength, and complete hole fill. They are designed to lock the broken portion of the stem within the rivet body upon installation, so the stems won’t rattle or fall out. Breakstems can be installed with automatic or manual tools.
