Blind rivets for one-sided access

These blind rivets join materials when only one side of the joint is reachable. The tubular body contains a mandrel that expands the rivet tail when pulled with a rivet tool. The mandrel then snaps off to leave a secure, permanent fastening. They suit automotive panels, sheet metal and general repair work where rear access is blocked.

Dome head spreads clamping load

The 5/32 in diameter rivet with a 3/8 in length provides a flush dome head that distributes force across the surface. This head style reduces pull-through on thinner materials and leaves a low-profile finish. Each rivet installs quickly with a standard hand or pneumatic riveter, requiring no secondary hardware such as nuts or washers.

Steel construction resists shear and vibration

The all-steel body and mandrel deliver consistent shear strength in structural joints. The rivet will not loosen under vibration, making it reliable for brackets, hinges and bodywork. Installation requires a drilled hole matching the rivet diameter and a compatible rivet tool; no threading or tapping is involved.

Questions about this item

Will the steel dome-head rivets corrode if the assembly sits outdoors?

Steel rivets will rust when exposed to moisture unless the joint is sealed or painted after installation.

At what grip length does the 3/8 in rivet body stop clamping effectively?

The 3/8 in body length sets the maximum material stack the rivet can join; thicker stacks leave gaps.

How hot does the mandrel area get when setting hundreds of these rivets in a shift?

The mandrel snaps off during each set and does not generate sustained heat; the tool body warms from repeated cycles instead.
