Blind Rivets
- Blind Rivets are used in industries where assembly access on one side is difficult
- Many types and applications - ie sheet metal
- Generally supplied in either Steel Zinc Plated or Aluminium
- Sizes range from 3.2 to 6.4

- which expands to form a head, securing the joint. The mandrel breaks & can be recycled
