Steel Domed Head Solid Rivets
Installation of solid rivets requires access to both sides of the material as well as a hammer or a solid rivet tool. To achieve the most consistent results and a professional appearance, we recommend using a riveting air hammer with a rivet setter that matches the rivet's head style, and a bucking bar.
18-8 Stainless Steel Domed Head Solid Rivets
18-8 stainless steel rivets are more corrosion resistant than those made of aluminum, brass, or copper, and they may be mildly magnetic.

Tools for Hollow Rivets
One of these tools and a hammer are all you need to expand the base of hollow (tubular) and hollow-end (semi-tubular) rivets. Place the tool over the hollow end of the rivet, then strike with a hammer. The rivet’s end will flare out to fasten your material.

Removal Tools for Locking-Collar Rivets
Remove locking-collar rivets, also called Magna-Grip lockbolts, without damaging your workpiece. Instead of breaking off the collar with a chisel, these tools attach to your drill to mill off the collar. All that's left to do is to drive the pin out with a hammer.
For a complete removal tool, you'll need a cutter and a stop (both sold separately).
Cutters thread into the stop.
