In addition to gripping a much wider range of material thicknesses than standard blind rivets, these have a 50% larger head diameter that distributes pressure where the head meets the material surface. Use for covering irregular holes as well as extra holding power when fastening soft, thin materials to a rigid backing. Made of aluminum, rivets are lightweight, nonmagnetic, and have good corrosion resistance. They join material when you only have access to one side. The 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.

A blind rivet tool (sold separately) with a nosepiece that matches the rivet's diameter is required for installation.
