    Also known as tinners' rivets, these are commonly used in HVAC and other thin sheet metal applications.
    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.

    Light Duty Drive Rivet Anchors for Block and Brick

    A step up from a nail, the rivet head creates a secure connection with a finished look for mounting lightweight signs, screens, and panels. Easier to install than other types of anchors for block and brick, the anchors expand as you hammer in the pin or screw. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of the anchor, it won’t crack soft materials.
    To install, insert the anchor through your component and into a drilled hole. Then, hammer the pin or screw until it's flush with the anchor's head, which expands the anchor body.

    To remove, unthread the screw to release the anchor's grip and then pull out the anchor.
