A blind rivet is a type of mechanical fastener that consists of a mandrel and a hollow body. The mandrel is inserted through the hole in the two pieces of material that need to be joined, and then pulled through the hollow body. This causes the mandrel to expand the back end of the hollow body, which locks the two pieces of material together. The mandrel is then snapped off, leaving the hollow body securely fastened in the hole. Blind rivets are often used in situations where access to the back side of the material is limited or impossible. Because of this, they are commonly used in construction, manufacturing and repair applications. steady-ind.com
