What tool should I use for installing pop rivets and pins?
We supply both manual and air-powered tools compatible with our rivet lines. Selection depends on volume and application.
Do you offer rivets in kit form?
Yes. We offer kits that include a selection of rivets along with compatible installation tools—ideal for mobile technicians and field work.
Can I use stainless steel rivets in aluminum structures?
Yes, but it's essential to isolate dissimilar metals to avoid galvanic corrosion. Nylon washers or sealants are commonly used.
What’s the difference between open-end and closed-end rivets?
Open-end rivets are general-purpose fasteners where the mandrel is exposed after installation. Closed-end rivets provide a watertight seal, making them suitable for moisture-prone environments.
