Pop Rivets

also check out this link as sealed rivets may be a better option for you

Hi,

Blind rivets are just the ordinary rivet that are not sealed. I think the term "blind" refers to you not needing to see the other side to fasten it. Before the good old “pop” rivet, were the solid rivet which you needed pressure from both sides to fasten a rivet, usually 2 people able to see the rivet.
You will need to specify a closed end sealed rivet.
Cheers

Hi BJ Have always silicone sealed my blind rivets in. But will check out the sealed rivets for future use.

Just an extra comment.

My cordless drill, a Ryobi One+, didn't have enough torque to scrunch the rivnut down but my 240v drill was perfect.

(Thanks for your "Thanks" John).

GB, I also have a job requiring the use of Rivnuts coming up and was just going to start looking for a tool rather than the old manual way of nut and bolt screwing the things up by hand so the post was useful :)

Thanks for the link, GB.

We are having an aluminium camper body built at the moment, and am sure these will be handy for any add-ons we may need.

It's funny, while I've seen these advertised, have never seen them "in the flesh". Happened to notice on a truck I was re-fuelling had a number of Rivnuts used on the tank mounting straps, to mount the fastening bolts.

Bob, talk to them on the phone.

They are very helpful. I was going to order a particular type of rivnut but they pointed out the correct ones for me.

I got a selection of about 4 different sizes, and the tool, all for $215,

Credit card over the phone. Painless.
