Blind rivets, also known as pop rivets, are a type of fastener used to join two pieces of material together, typically when access to the back side of the joint is limited or impossible. They consist of a cylindrical body (often made of aluminum, Steel, Stainless Steel) with a mandrel through the center. 

​

The blind rivet is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the materials to be joined. As the mandrel is pulled through the body of the rivet using a specialized tool called a rivet gun, the body of the rivet expands, creating a clamping force that secures the materials together. Once the mandrel reaches its breaking point, it snaps off, leaving the installed rivet in place.

​

Blind rivets are widely used in manufacturing, construction, automotive, aerospace, and other industries due to their ease of installation, versatility, and ability to join materials of different thicknesses. They come in various sizes, materials, and head styles to suit different applications.
