Rapid Tools Standard blind rivet Ø4.0 x 12 mm with an aluminium body and a steel mandrel, supplied in a pack of 100. The rivet is intended for permanent fastening of sheet materials when access is available from one side only. Tail diameter 4.0 mm and length 12 mm match common joining tasks in metal and light construction work, and the rivet is compatible with standard blind riveting tools.

Advantages

The aluminium head provides corrosion resistance and a lightweight connection while the steel mandrel ensures secure setting and reliable clamp force. Packaged in a plastic bag of 100 pieces, these blind rivets are ready for workshop use and replacement during repair or assembly tasks.

• Automotive repair and bodywork
• Light construction and metal fabrication
• Decorative panels and trim fastening

When it may not be suitable

Not suitable for applications requiring access from both sides or where a removable fastener is needed. Avoid use in heavy structural connections where larger diameter or higher-strength fasteners are required.

How to use

Drill a hole matching the rivet diameter, insert the blind rivet through the materials to be joined, place the rivet mandrel into a compatible blind rivet tool, and operate the tool until the mandrel breaks, forming the blind head and securing the joint. Ensure the clamping range matches the combined material thickness before setting.

• Check compatibility with your blind riveting tool
• Choose aluminium head with steel mandrel where corrosion resistance and moderate strength are suitable

Usage recommendations

Use with properly sized holes and a compatible blind riveting tool; verify clamping range and test one rivet before full assembly to ensure correct grip and appearance.
