[1000 BULK] Rivets Linear Aluminum Drive 3/16 X 1/2

Discover the reliability of the [1000 BULK] Rivets Linear Aluminum Drive 3/16 x 1/2, a lightweight blind rivet engineered for fast, secure assemblies across metal and plastic substrates. Crafted from natural aluminum, these drive rivets deliver a robust hold without adding weight to your project, making them ideal for cabinetry, automotive upgrades, appliances, and general fabrication.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 3/16 in (4.8 mm)
• Length: 1/2 in (12.7 mm)
• Material: Aluminum
• Type: Drive (blind) rivet
• Finish: Natural aluminum
• Corrosion resistance: Excellent for indoor/outdoor use

Why these aluminum drive rivets stand out

• Lightweight yet strong: Delivers a durable hold on both metal and plastic substrates without adding unnecessary bulk to your assembly.
• Outstanding corrosion resistance: Performs reliably in indoor and outdoor environments, resisting rust and wear over time.
• Fast, simple installation: Compatible with standard rivet guns, enabling quick, repeatable assemblies and reduced labor time.
• Flush, neat finish: The mandrel-expansion creates a clean, low-profile joint that looks professional on finished surfaces.
• Bulk reliability: Comes in a 1000-piece bulk pack, ideal for shop inventory, production runs, and ongoing projects.

How it works

1. Insert the rivet into a matching pre-drilled hole.
2. Align the parts to be joined for precise assembly.
3. Operate a standard blind rivet gun to seat the rivet.
4. As the mandrel pulls, the rivet body expands to form a secure joint.
5. Leave a neat, flush finish on your project.

Ideal applications

• Cabinetry and furniture fabrication
• Automotive upgrades and equipment enclosures
• Appliance assemblies and housings
• General fabrication projects involving metal and plastic substrates

Practical tips for best results

• Always use a matched pre-drilled hole corresponding to the rivet size for optimal grip and to avoid wobble.
• Check your rivet gun torque and feed to ensure full seating without over-pulling the mandrel.
• Store in a dry place to maintain the pristine natural aluminum finish over time.
