Drive rivets, also known as blind rivets, are fasteners designed for secure joining of materials where access is limited to one side. Comprising a cylindrical body and a mandrel, they're installed using a rivet gun. The mandrel is inserted into the rivet, and as the gun is triggered, the mandrel pulls through, expanding the rivet and creating a tight joint. Drive rivets are versatile, suitable for diverse applications in construction, automotive, and aerospace industries. Their efficient, one-sided installation makes them valuable for assembling components without requiring direct access to both sides, streamlining the fastening process in various engineering and manufacturing scenarios.
