Clarke Pk100 Pop Rivets 4.8mm X 16mm

Product Description

“ Pop” or Blind rivets are manufactured from Aluminium with a central steel mandrel. The rivet mandrel is placed in the nose piece of the riveting tool & the rivet body is then inserted in the pre-drilled hole in the work-piece to be assembled. The riveting tool is then operated which pulls the mandrel head into the body of the rivet, so forcing it to form a head around the mandrel end. When the rivet head has been fully formed & the assembly firmly drawn together, the mandrel breaks at a pre-determined pressure. The riveting tool is then withdrawn & reloaded. Rivets are generally regarded as one of the most versatile fastening methods available with the ability to fix components together securely from one side. They offer quick application & economic cost.
