About Installing Blind Rivets

Pin-Drive Rivets
Hammer the pin into the body and it flares out for a secure hold. These rivets require access to only one side of the material and can be used in through-holes or closed-end holes.

Blind Rivets for Wood
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 (sold separately). Made of nylon, rivets absorb environmental moisture, which can affect dimensions and other properties.

Pin-lock shank rivets have a pin that you press through the head to expand the body and lock the rivet in place.
