About Installing Blind Rivets

Plastic Blind Rivets
Corrosion resistant and nonconductive, these rivets are designed to join plastic, fiberglass, wood, and metal. They join material when you only have access to one side. A low-profile domed head creates a finished appearance.
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.
Nylon mandrel absorbs moisture which can affect dimensions and other properties. Acetal mandrel is more moisture resistant than nylon.
A tool for plastic blind rivets (sold separately) with a nosepiece that matches the rivet's diameter is required for installation.

Removal Tools for Blind and Solid Rivets
Attach this tool to your drill to remove all styles of aluminum, steel, and plastic domed head rivets. Collets fit over the head of your rivet to keep the drill bit centered and prevent it from slipping and damaging surrounding material. The tool also allows you to control the depth of your drilling.
