Blind Rivets are multi-piece rivet
assemblies, (rivet body and mandrel), which are inserted into the
application hole, however, the backside of the application isn't viewable,
therefore blind.
Blind Rivets are capable of being installed from one side of the
application, while the other or backside is not visible. Traditionally,
blind rivets were used on aircraft leading edges, trailing edges, and
close out areas which are limited to access to one side of the structure.
Current blind rivet usage has expanded to many additional areas of
the aircraft in an effort to decrease labor expense and to address the
ergonomic issues of solid riveting. Applications for blind rivets are
endless with: Race Cars, Trucks, Trailers, RV's, Motor homes, NASCAR
racecars, signs, HVAC, and metal cabinets.

How to use blind rivets with our Cordless Rivet
Tools (click here, or on
cordless tool photo). A blind rivet is a two
piece assembly containing a "rivet body" and the setting "nail" (also
referred to as "mandrel"). High speed wire forming machines, (headers), form
solid wire into both the "rivet body" and/or "nail".

How Blind Rivets Work
A blind rivet consist of two parts: the rivet body and,
and the
setting mandrel. As shown in the accompanying illustration at below:
-
The rivet assembly is inserted in a hole in the
materials to be joined.
-
The rivet tool sometimes known as a rivet gun is actuated and the jaws of the power-operated
or manual rivet tool grip the mandrel of the rivet.
-
The rivet is set by pulling the mandrel head into the
rivet body, expanding it, and forming a strong, tight, reliable joint.
At a predetermined setting force, the mandrel breaks and falls away.
