About Installing Blind Rivets

Wide-Thickness-Range Flush-Mount Blind Rivets
Grip a much wider range of material thicknesses than standard blind rivets. These rivets install in countersunk holes and the angled head sits flush with the material's surface. Made of aluminum, they are lightweight, nonmagnetic, and have good corrosion resistance. Use to join material when you only have access to one side.
The combined thickness of material must fall within the rivet's material thickness range. Shear strength is the amount of force it takes to break a rivet from the side, and tensile strength is the amount of pull a rivet can withstand without breaking. Joint strength is also affected by rivet spacing and hole size.
A blind rivet tool (sold separately) with a nosepiece that matches the rivet's diameter is required for installation.
