These are the blind rivets to use when you need a fast, low cost way to add load bearing threads to weak or thin materials. Suited for stamped or drilled holes, they will not damage tubes where there’s no access to blind sides or surface coatings like paint. Available in open and closed ends, if preventing dirt or fluid entry is important to you. Body styles include round, splined, square and hexagonal. Materials include steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in a variety of finishes. Install them with automated or hand tools.
