    Blind Rivets for Wood

    Image of ProductInUse. Installed. Top orientation. Contains Annotated, Border. Rivets. Blind Rivets for Wood.

    Installed

    An alternative to wood screws, these rivets have a grooved body that expands during installation, digging into the wood and creating a secure hold. They are for use in closed-end holes. Made of aluminum, rivets are lightweight, nonmagnetic, and have good corrosion resistance. They join material when you only have access to one side. A low-profile domed head creates a finished appearance.
    A blind rivet tool (sold separately) with a nosepiece that matches the rivet's diameter is required for installation.

    Push-In Rivets

    No installation tools required—use your thumb to push these rivets into place from one side of the material. To remove, pop them out with a removal tool. Made of nylon, rivets absorb environmental moisture, which can affect dimensions and other properties.
