Blind rivets can be used where you can only access one side of your workpiece as they are "blind" on one side and are pulled from the other to become flat. When inserted into a properly sized hole, this forms a tight and relatively neat bond.
Our selection of (aluminum) blind rivets:
3.2 × 8 mm (for 2-4 mm sheets)- 3.2 × 10 mm
- 4.0 × 10 mm
- 4.0 × 16 mm
- 4.8 × 10 mm
